Brussels
The city of
Brussels is more than 1,000 years
old.
Today
the name Brussels stands for an agglomeration of 19 communes forming one of
the three regions of the federal Belgian state. Brussels is the capital of
the Kingdom of Belgium and the headquarters of the French and Flemish
communities.As European capital, the city is home to the European Commission
and to the Council of Ministers of the European Union.Architectural
attractions are the Gothic cathedrals, the Royal Square (Place Royale /
Koningsplein) and the beautiful art nouveau and art deco buildings. The
historic market square with its splendid guild houses and the impressive
Gothic Town
Hall, is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful town squares in
Europe.
Welcome Address
Due to its central location in Europe, Brussels is also a crossover of many
different cultures and a melting pot of population. But building Europe also
means the development of new synergies. In this respect, we introduced the
innovation of sharing the honour to hold such a prestigious event with our
closest neighbours from France and Luxemburg. This is why for the first time
in the sequence of meetings the Local Organising Committee has neither been
regional nor national but international and composed of stroke physicians
from Belgium and from Brussels’ two preferred sister cities, Lille and
Luxemburg. Brussels being Brussels, it goes without saying that the social
activities will also showcase the beauty and the splendour of the European
capital. As the scientific and cultural programmes promise to be outstanding,
we do believe that the forthcoming conference in Brussels will be a success
and a great moment for all of us.
We
look forward to welcoming you in Brussels in May 2006.
