Subject: [NEURO] International Epilepsy Congress

Dear colleagues,

On June 23 to 27 of this year, Montreal will host the 30th International Epilepsy Congress. It is the first time this congress is held in Montreal and this a tribute to the importance of the epilepsy research and care for which Montreal is known. Dr. Fred Andermann is the Honorary President of the congress, which will also hold a special symposium on the MNI, with a tribute to its pioneers and the influence of their ideas on today's thinking about epilepsy (program attached). We are expecting 3,000 to 4,000 delegates; a record number of abstracts has been received (over 1,100 from 90 countries). You can find the full program and information on the congress at www.epilepsymontreal2013.org<http://www.epilepsymontreal2013.org>.

There will be a dinner on Monday June 24 with former MNI fellows who are attending the congress and I encourage you to come and meet old friends. Please contact Ms. Debbie Rashcovsky (debbie.rashcovsky at mcgill.ca<mailto:debbie.rashcovsky at mcgill.ca>) if you want to register for the dinner.

I also encourage you to make sure your membership to the Canadian League against Epilepsy is up to date, as it will give you a 50 euro registration discount. Early registration rates apply up to March 10.

Best regards,
Jean
