IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport in Monaco 2011
Intoduction
The core program has been announced, and there is now a call for abstracts and workshop proposals with a September 1 deadline - act now!
Mark your calendar: April 7-9.
The 17-member strong scientific committee has had a challenging task, considering that of the more than 100 proposals received the core program allowed for only 5 keynote lectures and 21 symposia.
As you can see from the final programme, the result is an amazing array of state-of-the-art lectures covering a wide range of topics, featuring as many as 94 invited speakers.
Call for abstracts and workshop proposals
However, there is still a chance to become part of the programme! We will have a number of workshops and free communication sessions; these will not be determined until this fall.
There is now a call for abstracts and workshop proposals with a September 1 deadline, and we encourage you to submit your proposals (conference objectives).
Note, in the mean time, you can still enjoy many of the presentations from the two former World Congresses on Sports Injury Prevention; Oslo in 2005 and Tromsø in 2008.
3rd IOC Advanced Team Physician Course in Corsica
Also, do consider signing up for the 3rd IOC Advanced Team Physician Course (ATPC), which will be held in Calvi, Corsica just before the conference. This is a unique opportunity to learn about many of the specific skills a team physician needs.
The ATPC will be geared towards the practical issues of working with high-level athletes, with a strong focus on active participation–reviewing and discussing complex cases covering the range of clinical sports medicine.
We look forward to welcoming you!
