World Congress of Neurology
The World Congress of Neurology (WCN) has been the world's largest scientific event in Neurology for over half a century. Doctors from various disciplines, together with neuroscientists, have collaborated in the organization of the best academic curriculum at preceding congresses and have contributed greatly to the worldwide neuroscience community.
The next WCN will be held in Marrakesh, Morocco during November 12th-17th, 2011 and will be hosted by The Neurological Society of Morocco under the congress theme “With Africa, for Africa ". The main purpose of this congress is to provide Neurologists in Africa with a unique opportunity to join colleagues from around the world for the largest scientific event in Neurology. Discover scientific achievements and interact with delegates of diverse backgrounds and perspectives to find real solutions to improve the long-term outcomes for patients with neurological disorders.
Tournament of the Minds
WFN member societies are invited to enter a team of 4 Neurologists in the Tournament of the Minds at the 2011 World Congress of Neurology in October in Marrakesh, Morocco. Teams will compete with each other in a knockout competition, to answer questions across a range of Neurological topics. The aim of the Tournament of the Minds is to be both educational and entertaining and the emphasis will be on visual material, videos and stills, with a minimum of text. Clinical cases from around the world will form the basis of the questions and a prize will be awarded to the winning team.
All teams will first take part in a Qualifying Round. The 8 teams that achieve the highest scores will progress to a Semi-Final Round and compete in two groups of 4 teams, the winners of each group contesting the Final.
There will be one team per country but, where there are a limited number of neurologists, a team may consist of nationals from more than one country. We hope that as many countries as possible compete and if you wish to participate, please contact the president of your local Member Society who will be responsible for coordinating your national team.
