Neuroscience Symposium on Brain Tumors
Welcome to Denmark, June 10-13, 2015 XI Northern Lights Neuroscience Symposium on Brain Tumors Welcome to XI Northern Lights Neuroscience Symposium on Brain Tumors The Scandinavian Neuropathological Society, Odense University Hospital and the University of Southern Denmark welcome you to the XI Northern Lights Neuroscience Symposium, which will be held at Hindsgavl Conference Center in the center of Denmark, 10-13 June 2015. The theme for the symposium is “Brain Tumors” and in line with the tradition, it will be an interdisciplinary meeting. Different aspects of brain tumors will be covered including e.g. neuropathology, basic science, neurooncology and neurosurgery. A pre-symposium course on tumors of the central nervous system will take place before the symposium. At this historic setting, you will find the perfect balance between well equipped facilities, professional planning, and the possibility to relax in tranquil surroundings. Hindsgavl Conference Center is a hotel and conference center with conference facilities that hosts up to 650 participants, and all of this with a grand wonderful park, sea view, hiking trails and the tranquillity and atmosphere of the countryside located right in the middle of Denmark. We look forward to welcoming you to the XI Northern Lights Neuroscience Symposium at Hindsgavl Conference Center in Middelfart, Denmark. We hope that the symposium will provide the basis for future organized collaboration in the brain tumor field. The symposium is open to all doctors, scientists and others working within this field. The symposium will take place at Hindsgavl Conference Center in Middelfart.
