13th Vienna International Workshop on Functional Electrical Stimulation
We are proud to announce the “13th Vienna International Workshop on FES”.
This year it will be held in the Center of the beautiful Vienna, in Palais Eschenbach, close to all major public transportation services.
Again we stick to our tradition of avoiding parallel sessions and offer – this year not “Pre-Conference Workshops” but “Post-Conference Workshops“. In this frame we also invite our Exhibitors to give a brief summary of their products, technologies etc.
Towards the end of the Workshop we plan a panel discussion / summary with Early Career Scientists to trigger new ideas towards the future of FES and best ways how to promote young scientists.
23rd – 24th September 2019 – Scientific program
25th September 2019 – Post-Conference Workshops
26th September 2019 – Cooperation with “Fachtag Elektrotherapie”
(additional registration required … t.b.a.)
