Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Dual Congress “6th International Congress on Brain and Behaviour” and the “19th Thessaloniki Conference of the South-East European Society for Neurology and Psychiatry”, I am proud to invite you to join the Congress and I will be very happy to welcome you to the capital of N. Greece, Thessaloniki.

Our Congress will take place at “The MET” Hotel in Thessaloniki between February 6-8, 2014. The Congress will cover a wide range of major topics in Mental Health and Brain & Behaviour related disciplines and aims to bring together clinicians, scientists, researchers and experts – from Greece and abroad – to discuss and explore all these interesting issues.

This Dual Congress has a long history of very successful scienti� c meetings. We � rmly believe that the forthcoming Congress will follow this tradition and will o� er an excellent opportunity to both experienced and new, enthusiastic scientists to exchange views and come in touch with the current trends in the brain and behaviour science.

The content of this Congress will also include and explore topics which are related to the impact of changes in a society in transition and crisis, on Mental Health.

Therefore we do believe that the Dual Congress “6th International Congress on Brain and Behaviour” and the “19th Thessaloniki Conference of the South-East European Society for Neurology and Psychiatry” is a great opportunity for the participants to meet friends, expand their scienti� c knowledge and enjoy Greek Hospitality.

It will be an honor and great pleasure to meet you in Thessaloniki.
