This year, the Department of clinical neurosciences, in collaboration with the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), invites you to take part in the annual DACH Congress, the German-Austrian-Swiss working group on epilepsy.
Presentations, round tables and case studies will bring you up to date with modern epileptology.
This 3-day event also marks the 30th anniversary of the DACH Group.
