www.neurosurgery2014.com November 20-22, 2014 Zagreb, Croatia 7th CONGRESS OF THE CROATIAN NEUROSURGICAL SOCIETY INVITATION Dear colleagues, dear friends, The development of medicine, primarily neuroscience within the last decade, along with a series of new discoveries, technological improvements and achievements, is impressive for us neurosurgeons. To participate in this extraordinary momentum with a purpose of providing the most adequate care to patients with diseases of the central and the peripheral nervous system, is a noble, complex, and extremely demanding process. Therefore, the worldwide neurosurgical community makes huge efforts to alleviate and accelerate this undertaking and achieve better results. We are constantly witnessing new breakthroughs and successes, but at the same time are participating in seeking answers that have not yet been found. The exchange of experience, the analysis of results, and evaluations of progress are of crucial importance in achieving common goals and higher quality in our everyday work. Gatherings as the 7th Congress of the Croatian Neurosurgical Society are a great opportunity to round up all experts whose knowledge can contribute to improving the surgical treatment of disorders of the central and the peripheral nervous system. Along with neurosurgeons, the congresses of the Croatian Neurosurgical Society has always gathered colleagues and friends from the field of clinical neurosciences. We expect their contribution this time around as well. Science that has no boundaries and the forthcoming congress do not picture just an opportunity for gathering of experts, but also friends; it is a venue for sharing experiences, establishing new collaborations, and seeking joint programs and projects. Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is ideal for assembling the ‘neuro-community’ based on its cultural, geographic, transportation, and accommodation features enriched by our previous similar experiences. Thus, we rightfully hope that, during the 7th Congress of the Croatian Neurosurgical Society, your stay in Zagreb will be comfortable and successful. We look forward to seeing you.
