ICMS Event: Science in motion

The symposium

This year we can finally meet each other in real live. During the ICMS event on December 2 we will build our growing community further. During this 2nd Annual Event of ICMS day will launch our ICMS movie, professor Theo Mulder will give his integrated vision on the Human Motor system, you will learn more about our great facilities and our medical technological oriented research on different patient journeys (i.e. orthopedic, reumatologic and neurological patients).

For our 1st Best ICMS Poster Award contest we invite you all to submit a poster of your research on patients with postural and movement disorders and associated technologies in order for everyone to become aware of the important research we are performing together. You may use work presented earlier, so no new format or poster is required.

Organization

ICMS is aimed at improving the quality of life and maintaining the independence and social participation of people suffering from movement disorders. This goal will be achieved through joint and interdisciplinary scientific research focused on innovation whereby close cooperation exists between scientists, private health funding organizations and innovative companies.

ICMS is a unique partnership between the Sint Maartenskliniek (a specialized hospital entirely focused on movement disorders), the Radboud University Medical Centre, the Radboud University, the University of Twente - TechMed Centre, Roessingh Research & Development (RRD), Roessingh Rehabilitation Centre working together with science-driven companies (national and international). ICMS has the ambition of becoming a national research centre and additional partners are welcomed. ICMS  research is on the one hand driven by curiosity and the ambition to belong to the international scientific top, and on the other hand driven by a felt social responsibility to contribute to providing solutions for the future of our health care system.
