Why Exhibit/Sponsor? Conference Topics
A Specialized Commercial Track
- Neurorehabilitation applications and solutions to replacing lost motor and/or sensory functions
Eir – Empowering Industry and Research - will as a co-organizer facilitate a commercially oriented track with emphasis on bringing cuttingedge innovative technologies and research in Neurorehabilitation from bench to bedside!
- Neurorehabilitation applications and solutions torestoreorrepairimpairedneurologicalfunctions - Techniques and methods in neurorehabilitation - Translational challenges in neurorehabilitation
Who Will Attend? This conference will bring together rehabilitation medicine specialists, engineers, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, neurophysiologists, and other professionals involved in neurorehabilitation research.
What is the Expected Number of Participants? We expect between 300-400 participants from the scientific community mainly from Europe, but also USA, Japan and Australia/New Zealand.
The track will encompass both industrial and societal perspectives on applying Neurorehabilitation technologies, inspiring case stories of bringing innovative research to a commercial product and discussions on how future progress can benefit from close collaboration between private and public partners. The track will, moreover, include a highly essential commercial fair – a Hot Spot for Neurorehabilitation technologies - where researchers, companies and clinicians are invited to present cutting edge research, novel technologies and state of the art solutions and products through poster presentations. Hereby, the Hot Spot serves as an inspiring forum where all conference participants can share ideas and identify overlap of interest and opportunities for collaboration.
