We need to learn more about how to make a difference in helping people understand Epilepsy and end the fear, stigma and discrimination that epilepsy causes.
Take a stand for the millions of people who live with the uncertainty of seizures.
What is CERI
and how does the meeting work?
First, CERI was organized in 2001 by a group of basic scientists and clinicians,
as a research section of the Canadian League against Epilepsy (CLAE) in order
to advance the understanding and treatment of epilepsy.
Our 5th Scientific Meeting held in Alymer, Quebec had the theme of "Translational
Research in Epilepsy", while the theme "Controversies in Epilepsy".
The format and the theme of the 10th Scientific Meeting will be determined
after we receive your suggestions.
We encourage everyone to stay on site in order to facilitate networking betweeen
all attendees.
The plan is to start the meeting on Tuesday evening with a Reception/Dinner
followed by a Plenary Talk or Workshop. Wednesday/Thursday is a full day of workshops
where teams of presenters lead discussions on their topics of interest. Late
Saturday afternoon is an opportunity for poster presentations. Friday
continues with presentations and the meeting wraps up at Noon. In each workshop
we often have a mix of basic scientists, health care providers and students.
We encourage the topics to have a large scope but understandable to wide range
of people.
Who attends the CERI Retreats? It is a diverse mix of basic scientists,
clinicians, graduate students, advocates and other health professionals. This
coming retreat will be preceded by a meeting of the Canadian Epilepsy Alliance
(CEA), an advocacy group devoted to the improvement of epilepsy patient care.
What should you do now? As explained above, provide your suggestion
by May 1, 2011 by emailing Dr. Mike Poulter at mpoulter@robarts.ca.
Finally, costs for this meeting will be kept low; we are raising funds to
subsidize costs and we budget to break even. Some funds may be available to
offset the travel costs of speakers.
We hope to see you in September 2011!
Thank you for
your interest.
