On behalf of the International Child Neurology Association, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 16th International Child Neurology Congress being held in San Diego, USA October 19-23rd 2020 in collaboration the Child Neurology Society. Our congress theme is "Sharing Knowledge, Sowing Friendships, Spreading Hope". The ICNCs have truly set the stage as the key forum which provides the very latest and most relevant updates on child neurologic disorders from a global perspective. Speakers from across the six major geographic regions will present at the congress. The scientific program will feature internationally recognized experts including themes of "Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies: What we know and what we do not know" (Nicola Specchio / Pritchard award); "Update in Pediatric Neurometabolic Disorders 2020: cerebral folate deficiency and disorders of polyamine metabolism" (Lance Rodan / Linda de Meirleir Neurometabolic award); "Burden of Neurological Conditions in the World's Children" (Charles Newton / Frank Ford Award) and "Dietary therapies for epilepsy in low resource settings: Challenges and successes" (Suvasini Sharma/ Shiela Wallace Award).  

We are keen to hear from members of the ICNA and CNS community and encourage you to submit your proposals for symposium sessions, platform and poster presentations. Following the successful framework of previous congresses the globally representative scientific committee, chaired by Prof Jonathan Mink, will select the most innovative proposals to ensure a rich and diverse program which guarantees that all delegates will leave inspired and with knowledge gained.

There will be opportunity for the newly established Council of the Future Leaders of ICNA comprised of outstanding, regionally nominated senior child neurology residents, fellows and junior faculty to meet and discuss strategy, as well as how the ICNA can support junior child neurologists. In-line with previous congresses we will offer a number of bursaries for attendees from low and low middle income countries. Based on popular demand there will be a strong educational program inclusive of master classes and teaching courses. There will also be an opportunity for the meeting of different child neurology subspecialty special interest groups.

The networking opportunities building international collaborations is a key theme for the ICNA and the 2020ICNC-CNS congress will be an ideal opportunity to pursue this. The congress promotes connecting clinicians involved in the phenotyping of unique clinical populations afflicted with specific neurological diseases with researchers in state-of- the-art research laboratories.

Please join us for a scientifically stimulating ICNC2020 program in an atmosphere of warm collegiality at the beautiful coastal destination of San Diego, complete with access to stunning beaches, hikes along sandstone cliffs of the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and exploring the cultural hub at Balboa Park with its many museums, theatres and gardens.

We look forward to meeting new colleagues and engaging with old friends there.

The EPNS has been organising training courses in paediatric neurology since 2003 specifically aiming at trainees but also at qualified paediatric neurologists who want to refresh their knowledge on certain topics. The aim is to cover most main topics in the syllabus over a three-year cycle and to promote contact between individuals in the speciality in different parts of Europe. The course has a highly interactive character and participants are encouraged to bring (difficult) cases to discuss. The number of participants is limited and applicants who wish to attend both courses will be given priority over those who wish to attend one of the two courses. The cycle of training courses 2015-2017 took place in Budapest, Hungary.

We are excited to announce that the next cycle of training courses 2018-2020 will take place in beautiful Alicante, Spain.

Program Director:
Professor Francisco Carratala, Spain Twitter: @FranciscoCarrat 

The first training courses will be held in Alicante: 8 – 11 May 2018

On behalf of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP) Kerala Neurology Chapter, I am pleased to announce an educational meeting under the auspices of the International Child Neurology Association (ICNA), which will take place on 2-4 March 2018 in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The meeting will feature an eminent international and national faculty.

The conference will be held over two days and will include plenary style lectures, coupled with interactive case sessions and panel discussions. The main topics for the meeting would include epilepsy, neurometabolic disorders, neurorehabilitation, neonatal neurology and CNS infections.

The varied topics will address specific issues and potential solutions in paediatric neurology from different perspectives. A limited number of peer reviewed posters will also be accepted for the meeting. The scientific programme will provide an opportunity for continuous professional development for all participants and excellent learning experience for students and residents.

Exchange of scientific knowledge and clinical practice through international collaborations is the key to promoting education and fostering research of international significance. The meeting will also serve as an excellent opportunity to prepare for the 15th ICNA Biennial congress (ICNC2018) to be held in Mumbai in November.

The meeting will be held in the city of Thiruvananthapuram, also known as “Trivandrum” the capital and the largest city of the state of Kerala. I look forward to seeing you all in Thiruvananthapuram in March, 2018 for this exciting educational event.

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.
