Provisional program and time schedule_IME-2014, Besançon The Executive Committee has designed a very original and innovative program which will associate, for each scientific session:
1/ a “key-note lecture”, on the state-of-the-art on the topic of the session, with the most exciting innovative work performed in the recent years in echinococcosis research;
2/ “free” oral communications selected among the abstracts sent by colleagues all over the world;
3/ a “prospective view”, by a highly recognized scientist who will be asked to show applications of research in another domain (cancer, other infectious diseases, inflammatory/immunological diseases…) on the topic of the session.
Last afternoon will be dedicated to a multidisciplinary round-table: ‘Where do we go and what do we need for the optimal management of echinococcosis patients?’
Thursday afternoon will combine the discovery of
Echinococcus multilocularis-preferred living areas at the French-Swiss border and that of Courbet’s birth place museum in Ornans. Please note that registration fees include this visit as well as coffee breaks, lunches, and gala dinner at the ‘Grange Grillard’ in the middle of the Jura vineyard.
