Dear Colleagues and Friends,
it is our great pleasure to announce the 15th Interim Meeting of the World Federation of
Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS), which will take place in Rome on September 8th-12th,
2015.
It is a privilege for the Italian Society of Neurosurgery (SINch) to host this important
event after the success of the previous Meetings of Porto de Galinhas, Brazil in 2011
and Nagoya, Japan in 2007 and it is a great honor for us to serve the WFNS, the World
professional and scientific Organization whose aim is to promote global improvement
in neurosurgical care.
The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) is also delighted that
Europe was chosen for the next WFNS Interim Meeting in Rome in 2015 and for the
World Congress in Istanbul in 2017.
The Meeting will focus on the major breakthroughs and advances in Neurosurgery,
from clinical practice to research, technology and innovation for a top-level scientific
program, including many opportunities for young neurosurgeons through hands-on and
educational courses.
Rome is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and is one of the greatest open-air
museums, recalling about 3000 years of the history of Civilization. For this reason the
Meeting theme is “From ancient Rome to modern world Neurosurgery”.
We will do our best to make this Interim Meeting an unforgettable one and hope that you
will enjoy the exciting scientific and social events that we have already begun to plan.
Strengthening friendship among neurosurgeons in the age of globalization and, as
stated in the World Congress of Seoul, “building bridges for one neurosurgery in this
world” will drive our work in the organization of Rome 2015.
We look forward to seeing you in Rome.
