The International Brain Research Organization
(IBRO) in collaboration with the Neurosciences
Research Group at the Faculty of Medicine and
Health Sciences, UAE University, is organizing
the “1st IBRO MIDDLE EAST NEUROSCIENCE
CONFERENCE”, which will be held in Al Ain,
United Arab Emirates, on February 7-9, 2011.
The aim of the Conference is to bring together
neuroscientists from the Middle East, North
Africa and the rest of the world to discuss the
advances in the field of basic and clinical
neuroscience. At the meeting we will debate
current issues and challenges in order to set
better standards in research, medical service
and education, and plan strategies for the
future of Neuroscience in the region. The
conference will present a good balance between
the recent advances in basic science research
and the clinical challenges that the physicians
face in their clinical practice. The conference
will be a rich 3-day program and will be
structured in the form of plenary lectures,
symposia, meet the professor sessions,
workshops, oral and poster presentations,
covering a wide variety of themes in
Neurosciences. Given its international scope,
this conference will attract physicians and
neuroscientists from the Gulf, Middle East,
Asia, Europe and the United States. The
conference will also provide a forum for the
exchange of ideas and knowledge of the current
issues through the interaction with renowned
International speakers in the field. All
participants will earn CME credit hours issued
