CleanMed beginnings
Founded in the United States in 2001 by Health Care Without Harm, CleanMed soon gained a global reputation as the premier conference on environmental sustainability in the healthcare sector. The success of the US conferences inspired the launch of CleanMed Europe in Vienna in 2004. Since then, the conference has been held in several cities across the continent, including Stockholm, Malmö, Oxford, Copenhagen, and Nijmegen.
In 2020, CleanMed Europe was held online for the first time in its history. This virtual format opened the event to a new, global audience of healthcare and sustainability stakeholders, making it the most well-attended CleanMed Europe conference to date. Embracing this new format that allows for even more opportunities to engage, CleanMed Europe continued as an online event in following editions. In 2023, it also introduced regional events to strengthen in-person and local collaboration. Networking remains key to the CleanMed Europe experience, both virtually and in-person, with participants using the conference app to exchange messages and connect.
