May their smile be our motivation

Dear friends and colleagues,
 
On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committees we would like to welcome you to the International Congress on Dravet Syndrome and Refractory Epilepsy, which will be held in Bilbao on October 3-4, 2019.
 
After the first edition, the three Organizing Entities: The Basque Center for Neuroscience Achucarro, the University of the Basque Country and ApoyoDravet  aim to  bring back together doctors, researchers, family members, educators and other  interveners to share all the  knowledge and latest updates related with these Epileptic Diseases.
 
We launch this year a new drug-technology workshop to increase the knowledge about current available medical devices and drug Discovery regulation.

More than 25 experts from different fields will update us with their research. We encourage people to interact between them, the organization will try to build a confortable environment during lunch and coffee breaks to support mentioned interaction.

The   International Congress on Dravet Syndrome and Refractory Epilepsy has become a reference meeting in its field.
 
Similar to the first edition, the Conference offers registrations up to 70% cheaper compared to other Conferences.

In collaboration with international associations and foundations, the Conference can be followed in streaming format.

Bilbao and the great facilities that the University of the Basque Country has in the center of Bilbao will welcome you with open arms.

We hope you enjoy this conference and Bilbao, which is a beautiful city.
