ICNE 2021 Virtual Conference

19-20 March, 2021

Why attend the Virtual ICNE Conference?

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The COVID-19 pandemic and its implications are set to continue for some time. The global health crisis has challenged our model of face-to face meetings – many of us still have travel restrictions and the role of social distancing continues to be crucial to control infection rates.

To adapt to the current situation, the ICNE 2021 Conference Planning Group has come to the decision to transform the International Conference on Neurology & Epidemiology (ICNE) into a fully virtual meeting that will be held on 19-20 March, 2021.

We have a fantastic programme organised, with keynote and plenary presentations and teaching workshops by over 40 internationally recognised experts from all over the world. You will be able to easily meet and communicate with them online!

To help you decide whether to participate or not, let me give you a brief description of the scope and uniqueness of the conference. First of all, why do we need such a conference? As you know, neuroepidemiology has traditionally long been perceived as a science of incidence, prevalence, risk factors, natural history and prognosis of neurological disorders. However, that is only one part of neuroepidemiology called non-experimental neuroepidemiology. The other integral, but commonly forgotten, part of neuroepidemiology is experimental neuroepidemiology; research based on clinical trials of effectiveness or efficacy of various interventions in neurological disorders. This international conference will bring together scientists and experts in all major fields of experimental and non-experimental neurology, with presentations ranging from clinical trials and meta-analyses to cohort, case-control and case-report studies.

The benefits of participation in this conference include:

  • affordable registration fees stratified by the level of training (students, trainees, regular delegates) and country income level (developing vs developed countries);
  • access to all sessions online (no time overlap between presentations);
  • all accepted abstracts published in online issue of Neuroepidemiology before the conference;
  • Visibility/accessibility of your presentation for 3 months after the conference;
  • 12 European CME credits (ECMEC®s) by the European Accreditation Council for
    Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®)
    ;
  • E-Certificate of Presentation and/or Participation by Programme and Scientific Committee

The main topics of the conference are all major neurological disorders, including stroke, dementia, movement disorders, epilepsy, headache.

This international conference will provide an excellent opportunity for neurologists, public health experts, neurosurgeons, epidemiologists, neuropsychologists, rehabilitation specialists, geriatricians, nurses, aged care specialists and health care providers working in the area of experimental and non-experimental epidemiology of neurological disorders to share their new ideas, research findings and experience.

We believe the virtual International Conference on Neurology & Epidemiology will be a great success and look forward to meeting you online.
