While preparing my Greetings, nearly all of you have already done your plans regarding your participation. Still, I remind you of the following:
At Gothenburg, all SIGs will have their core people´s meetings as well as Executive Board and SIG Chairs will have a meeting.
I also wish to point out the news regarding the 2011 RIMS conference:
The 16th Annual Conference of RIMS will be held in Finland, Turku, the European Capital of Culture 2011. This time the conference has along the scientific program two major reasons to celebrate: the Finnish MS Society 40 years and RIMS 20 years anniversary. The theme for the conference is Lifelong perspective: Rehabilitation for MS patients with complex needs. There will be opportunity to present and discuss original studies and posters and, as already for many years has been done, the best RIMS oral and best RIMS poster will be given awards.
The dead line of abstracts for poster and oral presentations is January 15st 2011 and the abstracts will be published in International Journal of MS Care. The date for Acceptance or rejecton of abstracts is March 15st 2011.
