Germany Hosts Joint Cannabinoid Research Conference

IACM 6th Conference on Cannabinoids in Medicine and 5th European Workshop on Cannabinoid Research back to Bonn, Germany.

Cannabinoid Conference 2011

The International Association for Cannabinoid Medicines (IACM) and the European Workshop on Cannabinoid Research will hold a joint meeting aptly titled Cannabinoid Conference 2011 on September 8-10 at the University of Bonn.

Members of the IACM pay a registration fee of 240 Euros and enjoy a free membership for 2012.

The registration fees include a copy of the abstract book, daily rates (lunch for both days, coffee during the breaks) and an evening dinner on Saturday.

Late registration is still available and is associated with an increased fee of 290 Euros (students: 230 Euros).

Due to the generous financial support of the International Society of Neurochemistry, students and young postdocs planning to attend the Cannabinoid Conference 2011were able to apply for travel awards. These awards will contribute to the travel expenses of outstanding young scientists.

The venue of the Conference Dinner is the famous Rheinhotel Dresen.

During the meeting the IACM will honour four people for their major contributions to cannabinoid research and/or to the re-introduction of cannabis into modern medicine with the IACM Award. They will be awarded during the evening dinner on Saturday.

The IACM will hold its general meeting on Friday afternoon. IACM-members will get an invitation in July 2011.

The European Workshop on Cannabinoids will have its Business Meeting on Saturday afternoon (see programme).

The University of Bonn hosts their 4th Cannabinoid Conference.
