Opportunity to Present a Review Lecture of Your Own Work
We are pleased to announce two special lectures at the 2008 congress.

Applicants who have completed a research programme or a PhD between September 2005 and June 2008 are invited to submit a 3,000 word manuscript with a review of their work (i.e. covering multiple studies) for publication in Cephalalgia, the Journal of the International Headache Society. Applicants are also encouraged to disseminate their experiences further to benefit the wider profession and therefore two successful applicants will each be invited to present a 25 minute lecture on their findings at the European Headache and Migraine Trust International Congress (EHMTIC) in September 2008 in London.

Applicants must submit a brief abstract of their findings via the on-line submission system and send their supporting manuscript by e-mail to the Secretariat. When submitting an abstract, authors will be asked to indicate if they will be submitting a manuscript for consideration by the Committee. Authors should then send their manuscript as a Word document to enquiries@ehmticongress2008.com.

The general aims of the lectureships are to:

► Encourage the sharing of good practice and research in the migraine and headache field
► Assist in the continuing professional development of others working in the field
► Develop and broaden research and clinical work being undertaken in the management of headache.

The two successful lectureships will be awarded a total of £500 each.

The closing date for receipt of abstracts and supporting documentation is FRIDAY 6th JUNE 2008.
To qualify for the early delegate rate, register on or before 25th April 2008
