Events
The ProDok programme consists of up to 40 courses, which are offered at regular intervals and thus allow long-term planning. The content is organised by the ProDok Faculty Working Group in consultation with the VHB Board.
All interested persons are invited to take part in all courses, even those outside their own area of specialisation.
