The 4th European Stroke Organisation Conference ​(ESOC 2018) will facilitate learning, discussion, and exchange among European and international stroke specialists.

http://www.eso-conference.com/2018/Pages/default.aspx

The ICNMD is organized on behalf of the Applied Research Group on Neuromuscular Diseases of the World Federation of Neurology. Since 2014, the Congress has taken place in two-year cycles. This will be the 15th International Congress, following upon previous meetings in Nice (2014) and Toronto (2016). Future ICNMD meetings are expected to change continually between the continents.

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.

We invite you to take a look at the scientific program of Brain Plasticity in Epilepsy, a unique meeting held in Leuven, Belgium, May 13 – 16, 2017.

Our goal is to provide a highly interactive forum for clinical practitioners and researchers with a focus on brain reorganization in epilepsy and how brain plasticity affects motor, cognitive and imaging aspects.

We are very honored to be hosting an expert faculty of distinguished international speakers on the following topics:

brain networks in epilepsy

epileptogenesis and functional plasticity

brain reorganization in epilepsy: motor, cognitive and imaging aspects

disconnection in epilepsy

neuromodulation

prediction of seizures and outcomes

We encourage you to submit an abstract and share your research with other experts in the field of epilepsy.

The deadline for abstract submission is April 16, 2017.

We look forward to welcoming you in Leuven!

Dear Colleagues,

We sincerely invite you to participate in the 16th National Iranian Child Neurology Congress which will be held on 14 - 16th September 2016 at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.

Neurodevelopmental disabilities and delays are common problems in children, involving millions of children and their families all over the world, particularly in non-affluent countries. Most of these disabilities can be prevented or their severities can be decreased, giving these children the opportunity to have more productive and independent lives.

This congress aims to fulfill its role in helping these children and their families through increasing the awareness and practical skills of physicians, therapists, special education professionals.

The congress will be held by the collaboration of Iranian Child Neurology Association and International Child Neurology Association (ICNA) and is supported by Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Pediatric Health Research Center, Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran, and UNICEF office of Iran. We will have participants from the countries around our region.

Several workshops about normal development, developmental screening tools, developmental disorders and developmental care of children will be held. The main language of congress is English.

The themes of the congress would be early detection, early diagnosis, early intervention and educating the caregivers.

Keynote speakers from Iran, Turkey, Europe, North America and Australia will have presentations in the congress.

We are looking forward to meeting you in the historical city of Tabriz.

Dr. Seifollah Heidarabady

Executive Chair of Congress

It gives me the greatest pleasure to invite you to join us at the next International Congress on Neuromuscular Diseases to be held in Toronto from July 5-9, 2016. We are very excited to be hosting this important conference in Toronto as the Congress has been located in Europe for its meetings excepting the inaugural meeting in Vancouver in 2002. We hope to follow in the successful footsteps of the meetings in Vancouver, Istanbul, Naples and Nice. At the meeting in Nice in 2014, it was decided that the Congress would move to a two-year cycle instead of meeting every four years. At that meeting, Toronto won the bid to host the next International Congress in 2016

We have developed robust committees: International, program and local organizing, that are populated by outstanding neuromuscular physicians. The program committee is planning a fabulous program ranging across the spectrum of neuromuscular disorders. We will have sessions on muscular dystrophies, other myopathies, myasthenia gravis, polyneuropathies, spinal cord disorders, and neurofibromatosis to name some of the major themes within the Congress. We will have updates on our understanding of the genetics, pathogenesis, evaluation and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. At the end of this Congress, we hope that attendees feel that they have garnered the most up-to-date information available in neuromuscular disorders.

The members of the local organizing committee are very proud to be hosting the ICNMD2016 and look forward to welcoming you to our city and country. Toronto and its environs are an amazing place to visit. Our multicultural city has many diverse neighborhoods of interest to visitors. Short distances away are wonderful attractions such as Niagara Falls. We also have easy access to the North Country for those who are interested in visiting the Canadian wilderness. The meeting promises to be highly rewarding on a social basis as well as on an intellectual basis.

Please mark in your calendars the dates of the ICNMD2016, July 5 - 9, 2016, so that you may join your colleagues in what we hope will be a fantastic meeting.

Sincerely,

Dr. Vera Bril

Dear colleagues and friends, 

It gives us a great pleasure to invite you to participate at our traditional international meetings as are the 3rd Pan-Slavic Congress of Child neurology and 21st CNM Congress to be held as a double event in Dubrovnik in Croatia from 19 – 22 October 2016. Web site: http://en.childneuro2016.eu/ 

This joint congress will cover various challenging aspects of Child neurology, Neonatal Medicine and other fields of medicine in childhood and adolescence.

We are wishing to send our warmest invitation to you to actively participate as a speaker, poster presenter or discussant at sessions of the congress. 

It is a Pan-Slavic and Mediterranean congress but we would like to establish a global bridge between East and West, North and South and experience up-to-date knowledge together with child neurologists, child psychiatrists, paediatricians and many other professionals working in the field of neurological and developmental problems.

We believe it to be a truly outstanding professional performance and we hope you will find the arrangements we are working on most satisfactory. 

We will have many exciting scientific sessions for exchange of knowledge and the program will also cover a wide range of recent advanced issues. 

The congress organizers have tentatively arranged an unforgettable social program for the attendees of the congress and their companions. 

We hope to show you the legendary hospitality of people leaving in a part of cradle of civilisation you hear so much about. 

Dubrovnik as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is an ideal city for a visit since it has a diversity of historical sites and numerous recreational activities to offer. In 1377, it became the first city in the world to develop and implement quarantine legislation, and in 1390 it established the earliest recorded permanent Health Office.

Taking this chance, we thank you in advance for participation in the congress that will never be a success without your presence. 

Finally, please accept our best regards,

Milivoj Velickovic Perat
President of Organizing committee
