On behalf of the International Society of Neuropathology, the Austrian Society of Neuropathology is honored to invite you to the XVIIth International Congress of Neuropathology (ICN 2010) to be held at the Salzburg Congress Center, Salzburg, Austria, September 11 - 15, 2010.

Neuropathology continues to be the core discipline in research on diseases of the nervous system, linking basic and clinical neurosciences in diagnosis and research. Every 4 years, the global event of an ICN brings together the research and medical-diagnostic aspects of the field in one place. On this occasion, neuropathology is presented to the world as an indispensable and dynamic medicoscientific discipline. ICN 2010 is expected to attract a high-quality attendance of up to some 1,000 researchers, medical specialists and industry representatives. Remarkable advances in the neurosciences ensure that ICN 2010 will be a meeting of greatest interest and cutting-edge scientific reports in addition to high-level professional education. In the tradition of previous successful ICNs, there will be an outstanding list of Plenary Speakers on the most important topics, including a special Key Note Address, comprehensive Symposia, Workshops on controversial issues, and debate fora on the plethora of original inputs from Poster Presentations.
 
ICN 2010 will be held immediately in sequence to PRION 2010 (Sept. 8-11, 2010 - www.PRION2010.org), the global forum for research on prion diseases, at the same venue. This allows for the unique opportunity to have a joint meeting between both events on Sept. 11, with top-class symposia and lectures on transmissible and non-transmissible dementias.

With the opening of Salzburg Congress Center in 2001, a modern and flexible location with innovative high-level technology has been installed in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.
