Welcome to
the 9th Scandinavian Congress of Medicine and Science in
Sports
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the
9th Scandinavian Congress of Medicine and Science in Sports
which will be held in Stavanger in 2008.
Stavanger which is otherwise known as the "Oil Capital" of
Norway will play host to the congress between 6th and 9th
November.
2008 is a significant year for Stavanger as it has also been
chosen together with Liverpool as a European Capital of
Culture. Stavanger offers a fantastic blend of old and new,
there is much to see and do from the old town "Gamle
Stavanger" to paying a visit to one of the many gourmet
restaurants that inhabit the harbour area. Sport and
recreation do play an important role in the local community
from surfing at Bore Beach, to cheering on the local
football team "Viking Stavanger" or indeed the international
grand slam beach volleyball tournament which is played
annually in the harbour every summer.
The SCMSS 2008 program will focus in the main:
- ACL injuries in
children
- The chronic painful
tendon
- Cardiac screening in
sports
- Effect of intervention
programs to reduce overweight
The congress will consist
of lectures given by national and international speakers,
practical workshops, and sponsor provided exhibitions.
Our full programme will be published soon.
The SCMSS 2008 will also offer an extensive evening
entertainment programme, all participants will have the
chance to meet old friends and make new contacts.
The congress committee looks forward to seeing you in
Stavanger!
