The International Brain Injury Association is pleased to announce it’s Seventh annual World Congress on Brain Injury, to be held April 9-12, 2008 in Lisbon, Portugal.
The IBIA World Congress is the largest gathering of international professionals working in the field of brain injury. Delegates are comprised of physicians, psychologists and neuropsychologists, therapists, social workers, nurses, case managers, legal professionals, advocates and all others working in the field of brain injury.
The Seventh World Congress will feature internationally recognized invited speakers, platform lectures, workshops, short oral presentations and poster sessions.
This year’s Congress will also include a special one day pre-Congress symposium, co-sponsored with the World Federation of Neurological Rehabilitation (WFNR) on “Advances and Controversies in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury” which will be held April 8, 2008.
The aim of the Seventh World Congress is to provide an opportunity for establishing collegial relationships with international professionals focused on the care and/or service of persons with acquired brain injury and/or the science of brain injury research. State of the art research will be presented dealing with information spanning from basic science to clinical (coma to community) aspects of brain injury.
International priorities in the field of brain injury research will be discussed. Finally, the Congress seeks to provide didactic opportunities for clinicians interested in advancing their knowledge in brain injury science, medicine and care.
