Topic 1 - Acquired muscle disorders
Topic 2 - Neuromuscular disorders around the world
Topic 3 - RNA in NMD: clinical insights, pathomechanisms and treatments
Each day a plenary session will be dedicated to the selected topics. Speakers will summarise the state of the field on the selected topics, covering clinical, molecular and other aspects.
Speaker selection policy: When choosing speakers for the WMS Congress, we aim to achieve a fair balance in terms of gender, geographic representation, and areas of expertise based on the key topics agreed upon by the Scientific Programme Committee.
In response to specific feedback from attendees, and to provide a diverse range of expert speakers, we have implemented a policy that Symposia Speakers and Chairpersons are not allowed to participate in more than one Symposium at the Congress.
Additionally, Invited Speakers are not permitted to speak at multiple Congress sessions or Industry Symposia.
WMS EDI Statement: The World Muscle Society is committed to creating an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment for researchers and clinicians to learn, share ideas, and promote translational science for the benefit of patients with neuromuscular disorders. As such, the WMS Programme Committee encourages all speakers and attendees, to use respectful language, to consider the diverse backgrounds, culture, and native language of our membership, and reflect on the diversity and inclusion in their presented work and its impact on the generalisability of findings for all patients with neuromuscular disorders.
