We are very pleased to announce the XVIII Congress of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery to be held in Rimini, Italy, October 5-8, 2008. From the original concept of "stereotaxy" and "functional surgery" we have made great strides and our discipline is now still in continuous expansion.

Neuronavigation and brain mapping are today a gold standard in the neurosurgical methodology.

Nanotechnology and gene therapy are going to mark the future development.

Our congress wants just to give a further opportunity to meet and to share new experiences.

Rimini, with its mixture of history, art and entertainments, and the Grand Hotel with its Fellini's atmosphere, will serve as the best scenario for your stay.

And it is with this purpose that we are looking forward to seeing you in Rimini.
