Researchers with an interest in translational bone research may also benefit from the 3rd IOF-ESCEO Pre-Clinical Symposium (free for ESCEO13-IOF delegates or only 150 EUR for Symposium alone). The Symposium will feature lectures by leading international investigators. View the programme at http://www.ecceo13-iof.org/pre-clinical-symposium

IOF and ESCEO look forward to welcoming clinicians and researchers from many areas of specialization including rheumatology, endocrinology, orthopaedics, gerontology, imaging, and other fields concerned with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
