6th International Workshop on Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions **

Organized by the International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (ISMNI) and chaired by Profs. Eckhard Schönau and Dieter Felsenberg the 6th International Workshop on Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions will take place between 8-11 May 2008 in Bergisch Gladbach near Cologne (D).

The emphasis of the 6th International Workshop on Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions are mainly given to interactions of bone, joints, muscles and the neuronal system. ISMNI seeks to link multiple disciplines in promoting a broader understanding of the physiology of the musculoskeletal and neural systems and the clinical applications of their interactions, mainly loading and exercise.

The International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (ISMNI) is a non profit scientific society whose mission is to enhance the knowledge of the interactions between tissues and organs involved in the function of the musculoskeletal system.

European Congress on Obesity (ECO)

The objectives of the European Congress on Obesity are:

To provide an annual forum for the dissemination of information about research advances in the field of obesity, as well basic sciences and clinical, patient-oriented research.
To identify, debate and promote innovative preventive and treatment strategies to reduce the prevalence of obesity and its associated burden of diseases.
The field of Education and Communication will also constitute an important part in the congress.
