Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of our Local Organizing Committee, it is a great honor and pleasure for
us to invite you to the upcoming European Congress of NeuroRehabilitation (ECNR),
taking place in the spectacular historic architecture of the “Hofburg Vienna”, Austria,
from December 1-4, 2015.

The ECNR 2015 will be the European medical platform and comprehensive net-
working forum, which brings together medical scientists, rehabilitation specialists
and industry representatives from all over Europe and all around the globe.
The ECNR will allow for a meeting of medical professionals with a wide-ranging
expertise in the field of NeuroRehabilitation and beyond.
This international convention will also enable efficient bridging to and between
other specialized disciplines in the sphere of all-inclusive rehabilitation medicine,
which is reflected by a formidable scientific meeting program. The effective inclu-
sion of European policy makers and international experts in the field of healthcare
management will not only stimulate new dialogues during the congress, but will
also foster a broader exchange of knowledge and expertise in order to complete
a sophisticated meeting schedule.

Our European convention will also serve as a troika meeting, in view of the fact
that the German Society of NeuroRehabilitation (DGNR) and the Austrian Society of
NeuroRehabilitation (OeGNR) will all hold their annual national meetings for their
members within the framework of the ECNR 2015 in Vienna.

Meanwhile, we would like to wish you all the best and are already looking forward to
meeting you in Vienna in 2015!

                                    Kind regards,

  Giorgio Sandrini                Volker Hömberg                  Heinrich Binder

About the European Federation of
NeuroRehabilitation Societies (EFNR)

The European Federation for NeuroRehabilitation Societies (EFNR) is a multi-
disciplinary, international, nonpartisan, non-denominational organisation for
the promotion of research, education, and scientific dialogue in the area of
NeuroRehabilitation and related medical specialties.

Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, the EFNR is the effective European-wide
organ of national NeuroRehabilitation Societies and other relevant stakeholders.
Our organisation furthermore serves as a strong advocacy institution, as well as
between healthcare professionals, media representatives and policy makers.

As a registered non-profit organisation, directly dedicated to endorsing and
coordinating the scientific, philanthropic, intellectual and professional activities
in the area of NeuroRehabiliation, the EFNR is driven by its commitment to serve
the international scientific community and to provide latest research results to all
interest groups.

It is also the mission of the EFNR to promote the medical and social wellbeing of
persons with disabling neurological disorders, to advance training and research
in the basic and clinical sciences which can lead to functional recovery of neuro-
logically impaired persons, and to disseminate the knowledge of this research
among professionals and the general public.

In addition, the EFNR develops and promotes homogeneous educational standards
and curricula for young academics who intend to participate in research activities
or practice in the field.
