12th Congress Dutch Society of Gerontology
We are looking forward meeting you all at the 10th congress of the
European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) that will take place
in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, from 17 – 19 September 2014.
The main focus of the meeting will be: Geriatric Medicine Crossing
Borders. Crossing borders between gerontological science and geriatric
practice with futuristic solutions for common problems Crossing borders
between the academic community and the everyday doctor on the job:
general practitioner, home care team, medical specialist in the hospital
and the nursing home. Crossing borders between countries: international
retirement migration, laborers from countries with a low economic status
who emigrated to richer communities years ago, refugees.
The 10th EUGMS congress will be organised in cooperation with the annual
Netherlands Geriatric Congress “Geriatriedagen”, which is a platform for
all workers in the field of geriatric medicine. Plenary sessions, symposia and
submitted symposia, poster sessions as well as sponsored satellite symposia
will cover most important topics in geriatric medicine. It is a great opportunity
to combine the earning of CME points with interaction with colleagues of
other countries, and of course to visit the exciting city of Rotterdam, one of
the main ports of the world, with all kinds of attractions like boat excursions,
musea, a famous Zoo and astonishing modern architecture. Rotterdam is
only 25 train minutes from Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport. The congress
venue is located in the heart of the city with plenty of shopping opportunities,
and many hotels within walking distance.
Mark the date in your agenda! Updated information on the program will
be available at the congress site www.eugms2014.org
