ESICM activities during the 21st Annual Congress
The 21st Annual Congress of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine is a privileged time for ESICM members to meet. Almost all Committees, Sections and Research Groups will take this opportunity to meet. Most importantly, the General Assembly will bring together all ESICM members for their annual meeting.
PACT Sessions and Simulation Workshops The PACT programme is used to build up PACT-based sessions.
ESICM Secretariat The ESICM booth will be located at a strategic place on the way to the Exhibition area.
ESICM Business Meetings The ESICM Business Meetings are scheduled from Saturday 20 September 2008 until Wednesday 24 September 2008. The detailed calendar will be posted here later on. Please note this calendar is subject to last minutes changes.
Continuing Professional Development Sessions The ESICM is developing educational tools. Sessions are scheduled throughout the congress.
EDIC The written examination for the European Diploma in Intensive Care (EDIC) will take place on Monday 22 September 2008 from 08.00 to 11.00 at the Lisbon Congress Centre.
ESICM General Assembly The annual Membership Assembly will take place in room Stockholm on Tuesday 23 September 2008. A welcome cocktail will be served at 18.15 before the assembly (18.30-20.00). All ESICM/ESPNIC members are strongly encouraged to participate.
Research Activities ESICM Research activities are flourishing and cover more and more topics. Genomics is doing pretty well thanks to the GenOSept study, which has now reached its cruise speed by entering the crucial phase of patients recruitment. The ESICM made efforts to secure funding for Research projects.
We have now a wide range of funding opportunities to be seized by investigators in intensive care. Calls for proposals will be posted shortly in the framework of the ECCRN and Industry Research Awards Programme. Please have a look at the ECCRN Awards page which advertises these calls.
Finally, our ECCRN platform, which brings together cutting-edge research projects in intensive care, keeps on growing. Investigators are offered several opportunities to share their findings: the ECCRN area for posters and the ECCRN session for oral presentations and fruitful exchanges with the congress delegates. Do not forget to visit the ECCRN area in Lisbon and to attend the ECCRN session!!!
