IAS III - Dublin 2006
2nd CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
We are well underway in our preparations for the 3rd International Ankle Symposium and have assembled an impressive team of keynote speakers. Now, we invite you to present your work at this conference. The theme of IAS III is 'ankle sprains, instability and rehabilitation', an issue that has a significant impact on the health-care community both in terms of time loss from activity (work, competition, recreation, etc.), long term consequences such as osteoarthritis, and money spent on treatment and care. The complex nature of ankle instability continues to intrigue, and has recently witnessed an increase in interest among research scientists and clinicians with important new developments in research and rehabilitation.
The conference will take place in the new state of the art Health Sciences Centre on the Belfield campus of University College Dublin. This campus is situated in the heart of Dublin city, the capital of Ireland. Dublin is a thriving city with over 1million inhabitants and a multitude of tourist attractions for all tastes including its Georgian architecture, historical sites, the hustle and bustle of the Temple Bar entertainment and cultural district, and the many museums and galleries dotted around the city. Visitors to Dublin are very well served by the many excellent restaurants, bars and hotels and organized bus and walking tours of its many attractions. The natural beauty of the nearby Dublin and Wicklow mountains and parklands should appeal to anybody who wishes to take a few days after the conference and indulge in a little hiking, hill-walking or adventure sports. Dublin is served by an international airport with direct connections to most major urban centres worldwide.
