Scientific congresses are an important tool to support communication among
scientists, enabling exchange of knowledge and discussion of research results.
They can also provide specialist education and allow a forum in which to develop
the goals and policies of scientific societies. The World Congresses of the
International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM) aims at
continuous improvement of congress quality. The programme development aims are:
to operate at the highest possible scientific level; to guarantee continuous
communication within the main areas of science in the field; and to invite
experts to present topics of recent interest. The first section, the basic
programme, largely comprises original papers selected from submitted abstracts.
The second section covers topics of recent interest in more depth. Other sessions
include recent topics arising from the ISPRM-World Health Organization
(ISPRM-WHO) liaison, collaborative sessions with other societies, including
national societies special interest sessions and ISPRM partners, and sessions
organized by young scientists and students. These aims and programme guide the
organizers of the 9th World Congress, which will be held on 19-23 June 2015 in
Berlin. The concepts described here will be developed further for use in future
ISPRM World Congresses.
