The 9th European Congress on Epileptology aims to reflect the current momentum in epileptology created by the challenge to translate the recent advances in basic neuroscience research, the emerging pathophysiology concepts and the powerful new diagnostic tools (from molecular probes to non-invasive brain imaging) into better epilepsy patient care.The scientific programme is almost complete and it features interesting and varied topics that encompass recent scientific developments and will allow those working in all fields of epilepsy to update their knowledge. One of the primary aims of this congress is to include the latest paediatric research . The European Society of Paediatric Neurology agreed to propose sessions to be included in the programme for the 9th European Congress on Epileptology. In addition whenever possible, basic and clinical science is being combined.
The topics selected for the main sessions are “Predicting Epileptogenesis”, “Advances in Imaging Techniques”, “Idopathic Epilepsies” and “AED Development.” In order to increase the education on a particular theme, the main topics will be linked with either a discussion group or a workshop. As in previous congresses, the Chairs’ Symposium will continue to be one of the highlights of the programme .
The aim of this meeting is to facilitate greater communication and the exchange of ideas amongst basic scientists, researchers and clinicians from across the continent. More emphasis is being placed on the poster presentations ensuring that all authors interact with their audience and no doubt the platform sessions will continue to feature excellent recent studies. We encourage you all to prepare your latest work for abstract submission in the coming months.
The 9th European Congress on Epileptology in Rhodes for what is certain to be a meeting of excellent quality.
