After three years on a virtual platform, the MND Association’s annual International Symposium on ALS/MND will run as an in-person event in Basel, Switzerland.

The event, which will take place from 6-8 December, brings together leading international researchers and health and social care professionals to present and debate key innovations in their respective fields. The Symposium plays an important role in facilitating the exchange of exciting new knowledge and information as well as stimulating new ideas and partnerships.

“We are delighted to once again be meeting in person. The hope is that through collaboration and partnership working we will find solutions to unpick the complex nature of MND which will lead to an effective treatment.”

Dr Brian Dickie, Director of Research Development at the MND Association

Although an online event proved more difficult for researchers to network effectively, one advantage of an online Symposium was its accessibility for those unable to travel, particularly people living with MND. We are therefore keen to continue this aspect of inclusivity and are considering ways of continuing to make the upcoming Symposium more accessible to a wider audience.
