Dear colleague and
friends,
On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing
Committee, we take pleasure in inviting you to
the Xth Conference of the Baltic Child Neurology
Association (BCNA), which will take place in Tartu,
Estonia, May 6-9, 2009 in the old historical main
building of the University of Tartu.
The BCNA was founded in Tartu in 1990 and the first conference was hold
already one year later – in 1991 also in Tartu. The idea of BCNA was to create
the organization of specialists to get updated scientific information but we
have tried to preserve a strong family – patient oriented approach and, last
not least to have fun together.
The Conference in 2009 will provide top-level education and state of
the art information, particularly aimed for paediatric neurologists and
paediatricians. This will be the conference to celebrate the 20th anniversary
of paediatric neurology conferences in the Baltic States.
The combination of excellent scientific and
innovative program with social activities
planned for the Tartu Conference will
offer you all possibilities to get updated
in your speciality, to strengthen scientific
collaboration, renew friendships, find new
friends and enjoy the old University town Tartu.
Tartu - city of good thoughts – with its
population of 100.000 is the second largest city
of Estonia and the centre of Southern Estonia. Tartu
is one of the oldest university towns in Northeast-
Europe. It is home to Estonia’s oldest university which
was founded in 1632 by Swedish King Gustavus II
Adolphus. The time-honoured university in Hanseatic city of Tartu lies on
the banks of the River Emajõgi, which flows for the length of 10 kilometres
within the city limits and adds colour to the city.
Welcome to Xth conference of BCNA in Tartu
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,
Tiina Talvik
