Rehabiliteringsforum Danmark

What Rehabiliteringsforum Danmark does

Rehabiliteringsforum Danmark is a non-profit association (almennyttig forening), founded in 1998 and headquartered at Evald Krogs Gade 9, Aarhus C, Denmark, that operates as the primary national forum and cross-sectoral network for rehabilitation in Denmark. Its work is anchored in the Hvidbog om Rehabilitering (White Book on Rehabilitation) published in 2020, and the organization aims to create awareness of rehabilitation concepts, build networks, promote rehabilitation professionally and politically, follow international developments, and organize national and international conferences. The organization is structured around three core programs: the annual National Rehabilitation Conference (running since 2008, with the 18th scheduled for November 2026 in Odense), the SEVERIN research network (established 2012, two annual meetings), and the Tænketank think tank on rehabilitation (established 2023, 40 members, four working groups). It does not operate as a technology company; its digital footprint is limited to a website (rehabiliteringsforum.dk) for information sharing, publication ordering, and event registration.

The organization has 6 direct employees and draws on a 40-person think tank and board members from member organizations. The secretariat is provided by Region Midtjylland, which handles administrative functions, and operational partners include MarselisborgCentret, DEFACTUM, and REHPA. Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) annual organizational membership fees of 3,500 kr per organization, with 25+ institutional members; (2) conference registration fees ranging from 995 to 1,775 kr per attendee; (3) publication sales priced at 50-150 kr per book (including the Hvidbog, Habilitering, Rehabilitering og Palliation, and topic-specific publications); and (4) shipping fees of a minimum 60 kr per order. Members include hospitals, rehabilitation centers, municipalities, professional associations (occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, social workers), disability NGOs, and universities. The organization is governed by an independent board elected at the annual general meeting for two-year terms, with Thomas Maribo (Professor at Aarhus University and Research Leader at DEFACTUM) serving as Chairman.

Direct peers

• British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine: UK national multi-professional society for doctors, nurses, therapists, and others working in rehabilitation. Closest international analogue in terms of being a cross-disciplinary national forum that organizes conferences, publishes guidance, and influences policy.
• Ergoterapeutforeningen: Danish professional association for occupational therapists; both a member of and board-represented in Rehabiliteringsforum Danmark. Operates a similar Danish national membership model with conferences and continuing professional development.
• REHPA - Videncenter for Rehabilitering og Palliation: Danish national knowledge center for rehabilitation and palliation, also a board-member organization of Rehabiliteringsforum Danmark. Operates a similar convening/research role on rehabilitation in Denmark and provides secretariat support for the SEVERIN network — the closest functional peer.
• DEFACTUM: Research and development unit under Region Midtjylland focused on social and healthcare research including rehabilitation. Shares key leadership (e.g., Chairman Thomas Maribo) and co-hosts SEVERIN — a tightly intertwined national rehabilitation research counterpart.
• Dansk Selskab for Fysioterapi: Danish scientific/professional society for physiotherapists — analogous national rehabilitation professional society with a closely aligned member base (overlap with Danske Fysioterapeuter) and similar conference/publication activities.
• American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine: US-based interdisciplinary organization for rehabilitation researchers and clinicians that runs annual conferences, research awards, and policy advocacy. Comparable in mission (cross-disciplinary rehabilitation forum) and conference-led model.

Broad incumbents

• World Federation of Occupational Therapists: International professional federation representing occupational therapists worldwide. Comparable as a membership-driven professional association that organizes congresses and sets standards — and overlaps with Danish OT members such as Ergoterapeutforeningen.
• Rehabilitation International: Global umbrella network for disability and rehabilitation organizations — Rehabiliteringsforum Danmark actively promoted its 2024 World Congress. Operates a similar 'forum and conference' model but at global scale.
• European Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine: European-level professional society for physical and rehabilitation medicine physicians. Comparable convening and educational role but at a broader geographic scale, serving as an umbrella that Danish rehabilitation professionals also engage with.
• World Physiotherapy: Global credentialing and advocacy body for the physiotherapy profession; runs the World Physiotherapy Congress. Comparable professional-federation model serving as the international counterpart to member association Danske Fysioterapeuter.
