WELCOME


Welcome at the website of what is officially called the 6th Dutch Endo-Neuro Meeting 2002. At this site, you will find the annual and almost traditional Endo-Neuro program with many exciting sessions in the fields of endocrinology, neuroendocrinology and neurosciences. New is an extra fourth day focusing on cognitive and behavioral neurosciences. This explains the working title of the 2002 meeting: 1st Dutch Endo-Neuro-Psycho Meeting
 
One of the aims of the ENmeeting is to present the most recent developments in clinical and pre-clinical research in various fields of endocrinology and the neurosciences. To this end, more than 50 internationally well-known speakers from Europe and the USA were invited to present their view on the future prospects of their field. The second aim of the meeting is to create an ideal atmosphere - both scientific and social - to promote the interactions between junior investigators and established senior scientists. Therefore, a considerable amount of time in the program is reserved for contributions of junior scientists. This is, for example, reflected by the (advised) standard format or a parallel session: an 30 min introduction by an established senior scientist combined with a number of 15 min presentations by young postdocs and/or PhD-students.
 
Poster sessions are open for both young and established scientists. We would like to encourage everybody to submit an abstract for one of the four poster sessions at the 2002 Meeting.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge the important contribution of the session moderators: they organized the sessions and together they are responsible for the exciting program of this years meeting. In addition, the 6th Endo-Neuro Meeting would not exist without the generous financial support from our sponsors

 
We are looking forward seeing you in Doorwerth,
 
On behalf of the organizing committee,
 
Anton Scheurink, chairman
