Invitation Austrian Society
Dear colleagues and friends,
We are delighted to announce that Vienna has been selected as the site
for the
6th WCNR by the Board of the WFNR. The congress offers an
extensive programme, covering
topics ranging from science and theory
to practical applications, as well as
public health issues. Hence, it is
geared not only to medical doctors, but all
professional groups in the
field of neurorehabilitation, as well as health
sector politicians.
Vienna’s tradition of hospitability and bringing together different cultures
has developed over several centuries, thanks to its history as the capital
city
of the former Austrian multinational monarchy. Its experience in the
successful
organisation of congresses dates back to the historical
Congress of Vienna in
1814/1815.
Meanwhile Vienna has reached number one in the international ranking
of both ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) and
UIA (Union
of International Associations), thanks to its outstanding
infrastructure for
congresses and its extensive range of tourist services.
Due to its geographical
position in the centre of Europe, Vienna has
always been a hub of European
east-west traffic and it impresses with
its exceptional accessibility. Vienna
International Airport serves as a
destination for more than 60 airlines and
ranks top for reliability in Europe.
Broad highway and railway networks stretch
from Vienna across Europe
to the boundaries of the continent.
The 6th WCNR will take place in the historical congress centre of the
Hofburg
(Imperial Palace) in the heart of Vienna, surrounded not only
by the stately
historical buildings of the city centre, but also by a
splendid boulevard, Ringstrasse,
with its extensive range of hotels
and numerous top-class restaurants.
The scientific programme is supported by a varied cultural programme,
including
a gala dinner in the historical city hall, visits to concerts, the
opera and
museums, as well as excursions to historical and scenic
beauty spots in the
surroundings.
We are convinced that you are going to enjoy the Viennese Congress
in 2010 with
its scientific and cultural programme and retain lasting
memories of it.
Heinrich Binder, MD
Congress President
