Welcome letter
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we extend this invitation to the 5th Latin American Congress on Epilepsy. The congress will take place in Montevideo, Uruguay between the 5th and the 8th of November 2008, under the auspices of the International League Against Epilepsy and the International Bureau for Epilepsy.
The Organising Committee have devised a varied and interesting scientific programme, consisting of plenary sessions, discussion groups and ALADE (Academia Latinoamericano de Epilepsia) didactic courses centred around the main themes of the congress: ‘Neuroimaging’ ; ‘Epilepsy Surgery and Etiologies’; ‘Epilepsy Cognition’; ‘Controversies in paediatric epilepsies; ‘Morbi-mortality and epilepsy’; ‘Basic research in human tissue’, amongst others. The congress will end with a highlights session summarising the key points of the congress.
Of course the presentation of recent research is an integral part of the programme and we would encourage all researchers to consider submitting an abstract for review by the Organising Committee for consideration in a platform or poster session.
It should be noted that whilst developing the scientific programme, every effort has been make to involve a wide range of speakers from the region as well as the inclusion of several outstanding speakers from other regions.
We hope that this varied programme will stimulate interaction between the speakers and audience and will fulfill all your expectations.
We look forward to welcoming you in Montevideo,
Yours sincerely,
 |
