Kalós írthate! Welcome!
JOIN THE ORIGINAL EUROPEAN STROKE CONFERENCE
in the tradition of more than 25 years
Preliminary Programme online at www.eurostroke.eu
Dear colleagues and friends of the ESC,
On behalf of the programme committee, it is our great pleasure to present the preliminary programme for the 27th European Stroke Conference in Athens!
The ESC, as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new research, focusing on interdisciplinary aspects as well as current and future concepts of stroke mechanisms, prevention and treatment, has had a tradition of 27 years. We are emphasizing this by celebrating next year’s ESC in the capital of Greece – Athens, a historical city with an extremely rich tradition.
We are proud to welcome leading international speakers who will provide new aspects of stroke treatment, prevention and post stroke management. Further highlights are workshops, the European Stroke Research Foundation esrf lunch symposium, highlights sessions to present the best abstract contributions, and several controversy sessions. Take your chance and be part of that outstanding event by submitting your scientific contributions at www.eurostroke.eu until 11 December 2017. Again, the esrf will offer 100 travel grants and 10 investigatorawards for excellent submissions!
Please find the preliminary programme here!
If you have any questions, please contact our PCO Conventus via eurostroke@conventus.de or +49 3641 3116-325.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Athens.
With best regards,
Michael G. Hennerici and Konstantinos Spengos
