Upcoming Medical Conferences in Stockholm

ECDC Winter Workshop 2020 - The science of using science to support policy making for prevention and control of communicable diseases is organized by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and will be held from Jan 28 - 30, 2020 at Stockholm, Sweden. Description: The ECDC Winter Workshop 2020 will focus on “The science of using science to support policy making for prevention and control of communicable diseases”. The overall aim of this workshop is to strengthen capacity among public health specialists in Member States of the European Union (EU) and of the European Economic Area (EEA) in the application of scientific principles and concepts to inform and influence policy making decisions related to the prevention and control of communicable diseases. The Winter Workshop will bring together country experts with various backgrounds to exchange experiences, views and gain knowledge and skills about how to inform policy makers in relation to preparedness, detection, assessment and control of public health threats with a cross-border dimension at the EU-level, in the area of communicable disease prevention and control. A similar workshop took place at the beginning of 2019. The results of the evaluation were very positive and improvements have been made to this 2nd edition of the workshop, taking into account the participants’ feedback. The 3 day training course covers the following key areas: • Introduction to the policy process and evidence-informed policy-making. • Designing a plan to enhance and support the use of evidence to inform and influence policymaking in the area of communicable disease prevention and control. What will participants gain from attending the course? Upon completion of the Winter Workshop, the participants should be able to: • Identify research evidence as one of many factors that can influence policy making. • Describe and interpret the main challenges public health professionals encounter in their member states to use science to inform policy makers at the national or local level. • Share examples, from their own experience, of interventions that have effectively informed policy making for detection/assessment, preparedness, response/control or recovery in the field of infectious diseases. • Identify evidence-based mechanisms to enhance and support the use of research evidence in policy making, including communication strategies. • Design a contextually appropriate approach to enhance and support the use of research evidence to inform policy making in their member state. • Prepare an activity to cascade learning in their institutions or country of origin based on the content of the workshop. Pedagogical approach for the Winter Workshop: • An online (through EVA platform) pre and post-workshop activity of 8 hours each is expected. • Participants will be invited to actively contribute and if possible present their experience in the topics covered by the workshop. • Interactive lectures from experts in policy making will provide the basis for discussions. • A group work will be structured to design a strategy to enhance and support the use of research evidence in policy making. • A structured breakout session will be dedicated to support the participants in developing a knowledge transfer activity in their professional setting. • Opportunities for feedback from experts and colleagues (participants) will be integrated at different stages of the workshop.

AOTrauma Basic Course in Fracture Surgery for Operational Nurses is organized by AOTrauma and will be held from Feb 04 - 06, 2020 at Stockholm, Sweden. Target audience: • ORP / theater nurse Description: The goal is to continuously establish a standard for medical continuing education in orthopedics and to disseminate medical guidelines and knowledge within a worldwide network in health care, in order to improve patient care in trauma and diseases related to muscles and skeletons. The general aim of the AO courses: • To broaden the knowledge and understanding of operative fracture treatment related to the level of education or specialization • To facilitate decision-making for an optimal treatment method in accordance with the AO principles • To convey the latest findings in research and clinical examination • To become familiar with new techniques as well as alternative surgical procedures in fracture treatment • To improve their own practical skills through exercises on different bone models • To understand the development of AO's philosophy and education - what is new and what is still Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Cryo-EM for Health Science (E2) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held from May 12 - 16, 2020 at Clarion Hotel Sign, Stockholm, Sweden. Description CryoEM has become a powerful tool in dissecting macromolecules in atomic details since the most recent technical breakthroughs. It has reshaped the structural biology and brings the revelation of cellular mechanisms and drug discovery to a much faster pace than ever. It is time to review the state of the art and plan for future applications of CryoEM in health science research, especially in medical diagnosis, therapeutics and drug discoveries. In this meeting, we will bring scientists and researchers from various disciplines to discuss the cutting-edge methods, innovative tools, frontier discoveries and major translational applications of CryoEM.  The meeting will cover a variety of topics from important drug target molecules and gene regulatory molecular machines to subcellular organelles and whole cell structures, from basic mechanisms to drug development, from experimental tools to computational algorithms. Besides the lecture talks, we also plan to organize one or two workshops aiming at introducing the most cutting-edge software packages of CryoEM and drug discovery. We wish that attendees to this meeting will leave with stimulated new ideas and concepts, new technical capabilities, and new collaboration projects on health science research by CryoEM. We also wish that this meeting will be a starting point for a series of meetings on CryoEM for health sciences. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
