implants 03 editorial | 1 2016 Exploring new grounds Dear colleagues, for more than 46 years, further education has been a topic dear to the hearts of DGZI’s editorial board. Already since its foundation in 1970, DGZI has contributed considerably to the education of our colleagues, especially by founding the DGZI study groups in 1990. These are small learning groups in which new tech- niques and case presentations are practiced. Three years ago, our Young-Generation study group was founded, bringing a breath of fresh air to our learning groups. Starting in Cologne, Germany, and featuring another branch in Hamburg under the ­leadershipofDrNavidSalehi,whohassincebecomeamemberofourextendedboard,thestudygroupshave enriched the DGZI’s field of activities. The heads of our study groups, Dr Umut Baysal and Dr Navid Salehi, have been supported by Dr Markus Quitzke in 2015. Their next step will be the foundation of another study group in Germany’s capital Berlin, which is going to be led by Rabi Omari. The foundation of the Berlin study group on 19 March 2016 at the Westin Grand Berlin Hotel surely is a highlight in 2016. Around 100 colleagues attended the founding assembly, ­illustrating the growing inter- estofouryoungcolleaguesinpeerlearning.Participantsofthisevent ­receivedfourfurthereducationpoints and the corresponding certificate.
