We are pleased to announce the upcoming 21st IIM Meeting, to be held in Assisi (Italy) from 4 to 7 September 2024.
The meeting will bring together scientists from across the world involved in Myology research offering the great opportunity to discuss the most recent discoveries in the field. The IIM meeting is an event in which scientists, clinicians and patient representatives have the opportunity to stay together thanks to the residential formula, share results and ideas, and initiate new collaborations. Join us and meet scientists whose outstanding studies are defining the state of the art in the muscle field!
The meeting is open to all researchers from Italy and abroad, and will include a full range of academic sessions covering all the aspects of Myology, plenary lectures, poster sessions, and social/cultural events.
Scientific topics
Keynote Speakers
The vast majority of the talks will be selected from the abstracts received; all other participants will have the opportunity to showcase their work through poster presentations. Moreover, we will have talks from three delegates of the Société Française de Myologie (https://sfmyologie.org/).
Presentation of unpublished results is welcome and always represents an additional value of the IIM meetings; only abstracts with authors' approval will be published in the Abstract book or as proceedings in a scientific journal.
Participation of young trainees is especially favored. Young researchers are encouraged to apply to the 6th high training course in Advanced Myology Update, which includes the whole IIM meeting and is managed by the University of Perugia in collaboration with the IIM. In addition to the meeting activities, the course offers dedicated roundtables and dedicated lessons given by the Invited Speakers themselves on the morning of September 7. The course is reserved for trainees who will be under-35 years at the date of the meeting, and it will represent a special event in which young researchers will have the opportunity to talk with prestigious scientists in a friendly and informal setting during the sessions and at lunch. Participants will receive a high training certificate useful to improve their CVs. Application to the course in Advanced Myology Update can be submitted only through the dedicated UniPG website.
The venue of the meeting, Assisi, is an amazing location in the green heart of Italy, and it is a place rich of culture, history and mysticism. September is a wonderful time to enjoy science, culture, wine and food in the wonderful land of Umbria.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 21st IIM Meeting, which will be a stimulating occasion to share “muscular” results and ideas in a friendly atmosphere.
