Dear Friends and Colleagues,


It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the 8th Congress of the European Federation for Research in Rehabilitation to be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in June

After Congresses in Edinburgh (1983), Duesseldorf (1985) and Rotterdam (1988), the 4th Congress¸was to be held in Ljubljana in 1991. Unfortunately, due to the civil war raging at the time in regions of former Yugoslavia, the Congress had to be postponed and transferred to Newcastle (1992). Congresses in Helsinki (1995), Berlin (1998) and Madrid (2001) followed. In the meantime, Slovenia has become an independent democratic peaceful country which is one of the most prospective candidates for entrance into the European Union. Its capital, Ljubljana, is honoured by the privilege to host the 8th Congress of the European Federation for Research in Rehabilitation and I am cordially inviting you to participate and contribute to its success.

Companies and others are cordially invited to take part in the Trade Exhibition, which is organised alongside the congress. Facilities are available for empty and equipped exhibition booths and displays, and also for specific promotional sessions if there is sufficient interest.

Prof. Črt Marinček, MD
Chairman of the Organising Committee
