The Association Française contre les Myopathies would like to take advantage of this International Congress of Myology to organize the 2008 session of the young investigators symposium.

This symposium will be held on Tuesday May 27th.
We strongly encourage the fellowship students supported by AFM to participate in this symposium to present and discuss their work. A special area for young investigators will be reserved for poster presentations.
Based on scientific abstracts, 10 young investigators will be selected to orally present their work. The talk (in English) should last 10 minutes plus 5 minutes discussion.
The young investigators selected for oral presentation, will be notified by e-mail by March 14th 2008.
Special awards will be discerned for the best oral presentation and for the best posters.

You have to submit you abstract online, in the topic "Young investigators symposium" (deadline : February, 18th).
We would appreciate it if you could send us the same abstract of your work, including the related publications (published and accepted for publication) by email : dsoupez@afm.genethon.fr.
