The 2010 International Congress on Complementary Medicine Research will
be held in Tromsø, the Arctic gateway of North Norway. The local host
of the congress is NAFKAM (National Research Center in Complementary
and Alternative Medicine) in conjunction with ISCMR.
As before, the congress will be a hotspot presenting and discussing the
latest research developments in the field of CAM at that time. The
theme of ICCMR 2010 is: "Relevant research for the chronically ill".
Researchers from around the world will have a chance to both share
research findings and (re)establish important personal connections with
others working in the same field.
I want to personally invite you to come in 2010, and urge you to
mark your calendars already. We are planning for at least 600
participants!!
