Dear colleagues

On behalf of the EMN Presidium it is our great pleasure and an honor to invite you to the 8th EMN Congress which will take place in Graz between the 21st and 24th May 2003.

EMN was born with a multidisciplinary spirit and kept this approach with great success in the congresses the years before.

This congress will focus on brain and spinal trauma in different age groups with special reference to pediatric trauma and trauma in advanced age.

We extend a warm invitation to you and hope that you will be able to come to Graz and enjoy the scientific and social program.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Graz.
