It is a great pleasure to invite you on behalf of the Finnish Neuropsychological Society (FNS) to attend the 8th Nordic Meeting in Neuropsychology in Turku, Finland on August 26-29, 2004. The Nordic Meetings have in two decades become a well-established tradition with a few hundred participants, some also from outside Scandinavia.

Our intention has been to organise a Meeting with a most challenging and versatile scientific program. The Meeting provides a unique opportunity for neuropsychologists to be acquainted with up-to-date knowledge shared by renown Nordic and international experts.

The FNS celebrates its quarter of a century anniversary in 2004. The Society was founded to act as a link between clinical neuropsychologists in Finland and to encourage international co-operation in the field of neuropsychology. Today, neuropsychology has established an eminent position both in clinical settings and scientific research in Finland.

Turku is the oldest University city and the former capital of Finland. An airport, several daily passenger ferries from Stockholm and excellent connections to and from Helsinki make Turku easy to reach. The venue of the Meeting is the Congress and Spa Hotel Caribia, which is located about 1,5 km from the centre of Turku. Along with modern congress facilities it offers an enjoyable setting also for your family members. The hotel is built around a spa with a Caribbean atmosphere and the Finnish sauna culture. Our social program offers you an opportunity to enjoy the cultural heritage and scenic beauty of the Turku area.

Looking forward to seeing you in Turku in August 2004!

Taina Nybo
President of the Finnish Neuropsychological Society
