22nd Congress of the European Sleep Research Society

The European Sleep Research Society is an international scientific non-profit organisation whose purpose is to promote research on sleep and related areas, to improve the care for patients with sleep disorders and to facilitate the dissemination of information regarding sleep research and sleep medicine. 

The Estonian Sleep Medicine Association is a young society, founded in 2005, and the ESRS is proud to host its congress in a region where sleep medicine and sleep research is developing at a fast pace. We are particularly happy that representatives of other Nordic sleep societies have accepted our invitation to join the local organising committee. Tallinn, the capital and largest city of Estonia, is considered to be Estonia’s crown jewel, boasts cobbled streets and rejuvenated 13th-century dwellings. Dozens of cafés and restaurants create an atmospheric retreat after exploring historic churches and scenic ruins, galleries and boutiques. Like most cities with an eight-hundred-year-old past, Tallinn is a patchwork of historic areas. The city’s pride and joy is without a doubt its Medieval Old Town with impressive and worth seeing monuments as Tallinn Town Hall which is the only Gothic style town hall left in Northern Europe, the Medieval Churches, Towers and Gates. Congress attendees will not only benefit from scientific exchange during the formal activities. Networking with colleagues with a mixture of backgrounds allows for identifying new research ideas and cooperation. The ESRS family is also about friendship and having fun; over the years many of us have established lasting friendships with colleagues from abroad, highlighting the international and truly European character of European Sleep Research Society.

Sleep and Breathing Barcelona 2015

The Sleep and Breathing conference is the largest pan-European meeting of its type and the only meeting offering an integrated approach to the investigation and treatment of sleep disorders.

In Barcelona 2015, the focus remains predominantly on sleep breathing disorders and our programme will cover as well other sleep-related areas of paediatrics, obesity, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, psychology, psychiatry and neurology.

The Sleep and Breathing conference is coming after the great success in Berlin 2013.

 

The aim of the Sleep and Breathing Conference is to support the exchange of knowledge among the international scientific community. Writing an abstract for this conference is an important way for you to communicate your scientific research or clinical practice with your peers.

The conference is organised jointly by the European Respiratory Society and European Sleep Research Society and supported by other leading European societies that recognise the need for a transitional approach to the management of sleep disorders. This innovative, educational programme focuses on sleep and breathing disorders but will also provide significant insights into a wide range of related conditions.

The Sleep and Breathing Conference 2015 is the largest educational event of its kind in Europe and boasts a highly accomplished European faculty.

 

X WORLD CONGRESS ON Sleep Apnea, Sleep respiratory disorders and snoring

May is a better sleep month! Respiratory Decade proud to invite you on X WORLD CONGRESS ON Sleep Apnea, Sleep respiratory disorders and snoring, which will take place at Rome, Italy August 27 - September 1, 2012. Read guest post by Professor of  Otolaryngology, Audiology and Phoniatrics at Università di Roma "La Sapienza" Mario FABIANI:

Dear Collegues and Friends,

I am honored to invite you to the next Congress on Sleep Apnea that the responsible Scientists in charge in the International Scientific Committee, advised by Christian Guilleminault, have decided to give us in Roma, Italy, on 2012. Developing studies about sleep apnea showed that this pathology is responsible for a wide range of serious clinical consequencies either in adults than in children, involving a large number of medical and surgical Specialties. The Congress on Sleep Apnea is the occasion every three years has the task to collect the most recent opinions and results on these various aspects. It is, therefore, our duty to call in the Congress the most prominent Scientists to offer their experience to the Participants.

Together with the efforts of maintaining a so high tradition we must warrant the high scientific quality together with the social opportunities offered by our country on natural, artistic and recreational fields.We will not miss the occasion of the forthcoming tenth World Congress to spread the knowledge of sleep apnea within those populations that are still underrepresented  among us and that instead, traditionally look to Italy and to the Mediterranean area with wide scientific interest like African and East Europeans. For doctors coming from these nations and other developing countries we will reserve particular lower conditions of subscription and prizes for original presentations.

Italy stands at the center of the western civilization area and we think that this tradition will bring a large audience of scientists from all over the world and particularly from Europe, North America and from the Latin American countries. Everybody knows that Italy is the garden of Europe with blue skies and sunny warm days, the highest mountains in Europe, erupting volcanoes, alpine lakes and beaches on 4 surrounding seas. I do not need to add much on natural beauties.

In every field we have famous protagonists. So we are proud to remember an important precursor in the field of Sleep Apnea studies, prof. Elio Lugaresi, who on 1968 published on an Italian Journal “The disorder of sleep and respiration in the Pickwick syndrome” and in 1980 the famous study on the population of the state of San Marino about “Some epidemiological data on snoring and cardio-circulatory disturbances”.

Roma will host the Tenth Congress organized by me and by prof. Oliviero Bruni under the auspices of the Italian Society of Sleep Medicine and many other scientific societies involved.  

Prof. Mario Fabiani speaks at Seoul Closing Ceremony to illustrate Roma candidacy for X WCSA

The end of August is a magical period for Roma, the streets are free from heavy car traffic as schools are closed, the time is warm but not hot, no rain, long days, people is coming back to work after the summer. In the hotels you will have all the comforts and the attentions at a price reduced at half the ordinary price as it is still considered a low season period. In the Congress facilities a full air conditioned environment is available.We are sure that the unique mix of classical antiquities, the modern stylish Italian way of life and the traditional hospitality and popular humor of Roman people would make your stay unforgettable.

Welcome to Roma in 2012 !!!!
