Evenimente

Dear colleagues and friends,

As the president of the organizing committee, alongside with our university, I would like to welcome you to Targu Mures to the 48th Congress of RSN in conjunction with the 27th Edition of the French Course in Neurosurgery.

In an ever-changing world, with daily medical technology advancement, we are in a constant quest to redefine the purposes and strategies of neurosurgery. The overarching topic of our congress will cover the entire spectrum of neurosurgical pathology, including new concepts such as individualized treatment or minimally invasive surgery, which are slowly but surely becoming the new status quo in the medical world.

The neurosurgical activity of Targu Mures, one of the oldest in Romania, started in 1945 under the coordination of Prof. Miskolczi, disciple of the Nobel Prize laureate Ramon y Cajal. Since then, the department has undergone major transformations, representing today one of the most important schools of neurosurgery in Romania.

Targu Mures is a city with a rich tradition in Transylvania, a multicultural center with historical landmarks such as the Administrative Palace, the Culture Palace, and the Teleki- Bolyai Library. The last hosts one of the only existing copies of Thomas Willis' first edition Cerebri Anatome published in 1664, the first written work to describe and illustrate the Circle of Willis, also subsequently coining the term 'neurology'.

Our partner, George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology was founded in 1945 under royal decree and is considered one of the most prestigious institutions of higher education and research in Romania, priding itself on its multicultural and multilinguistic status. Nowadays, it offers high level education for more than 10 000 students.

Through this Congress, we would like to merge our rich tradition in this specialty, with the epitome of research and modernization. We hope this edition will forge friendships and partnerships brought together by our love, passion, and devotion to the advancement of medicine. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Targu Mures in October 2023.
