Dear Colleagues and friends:
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the XX Congress of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ESSFN), which will take place in Cascais, Lisbon, from September 26th to 29th 2012.
Lisbon is the city of Egas Moniz, creator of Angiography and Nobel Prize laureate in 1949 for Psychosurgery, the pioneer of Functional Neurosurgery who inspired the organization of this congress.
The congress venue will be the Cascais Miragem Hotel, in Cascais on the Lisbon coast, 25 km away from the city centre (25m. by train, 15m. by highway). It is a modern hotel with excellent facilities for such a scientific event.
The XX ESSFN Congress 2012 will provide a great opportunity to update your knowledge and share your experience with colleagues from Europe and the rest of the world. The field of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery is the most actively expanding field in our specialty, with an enormous amount of new information constantly being produced. Through a judicious inclusion of relevant themes and recognized speakers, this Congress will provide the state of the art of the most significant scientific and technological developments in a wide range of topics: movement disorders, epilepsy, pain, psychosurgery, neuroncology, radiosurgery, neuromodulation, neuromonitoring, transplantation, gene therapy, neuroimaging, neuronavigation.
The Congress 2012 will be a unique chance to make direct contact with people and authors, equipments and new techniques that will shape the future of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. And of course, to meet old colleagues and find new ones, while enjoying the traditional local hospitality.
Come and participate in this congress. Seize the time and the place where, in older times, the Portuguese Nautical Astrolabe became an outstanding tool to guide other well known navigation discoveries.
See you in Lisbon, 2012
A. Gonçalves Ferreira J. K. Krauss
Chairman Organizing Committee President ESSFN
