The aim of the Congress is to present a wide spectrum of neuromuscular diseases from the perspectives of advances in research, diagnosis and treatment. The main scientific topics will cover: *Muscle disease *Peripheral nerves / Neuropathies *Neuromuscular junction disorders *Autonomic system *Mononeuropathies *Cranial nerves *Nerve regeneration *General diseases and neuromuscular disorders *Cancer and the peripheral nervous system *Patient related topics *Pain *History *Neuromuscular disorders worldwide *Palliative The format will follow the previous successful ICNMD meetings and consist of scientific sessions including plenary lectures and scientific teaching courses, workshop and poster presentations. The Congress will also offer Virtual Conferences and of course there will also be time for attendees to interact and exchange knowledge and ideas with their esteemed colleagues. The expected aim of the Congress is that the attendees will gain an updated view on neuromuscular disorders and that the networking opportunities will increase their international experience and collaborations. The scientific and program committee have been invited from all continents around the world to enable this wide spectrum. Vienna is an excellent and highly successful Congress city in Europe, which is easily accessible and provides a rich structure of culture and ambience serving to foster informal communication. |
