Bridging worlds: child neurology from a global perspective

A  Dutch View: 14th International Child Neurology Congress, 

May 1-5,  2016  

It is with great pleasure that we invite the world’s pediatric neurologists, trainees, nurses, technicians, dieticians, speech therapists, physical therapists, and other (paramedic) specialists to attend the 14th International Child Neurology Congress from May 1-5, 2016 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 

 

As local organizing committee, we represent  the Dutch Society of Pediatric Neurology (NVKN). The organization of this congress is strongly supported by its members. Since its foundation in 1975, our society has continuously been active and has flourished. With a primary background in either adult neurology or pediatrics, Dutch pediatric neurologists are united in one society and form a well-trained and skilled group of colleagues. Our society aims to maintain the highest national standard for the care of all pediatric patients with neurological disorders, in close collaboration with our colleagues in neurology, pediatrics, genetics and rehabilitative medicine, among others. 

 

In addition, the society aims to facilitate national and international pediatric neurology research. Furthermore, training in child neurology is considered of major importance.  Dutch pediatric neurologists have been traditionally active in ICNA:  Jacobus Willemse is one of the founding fathers of the ICNA, Ritske Le Coultre was the third ICNA president 1975-1979 and recently Michel Willemsen was elected as ICNA board member.   

 

Please mark your calendar! 

 

We look forward to welcoming you all in the beautiful city of Amsterdam for the  14th ICNC from May 1 – 5th 2016.
