Over the past few years new insights have been gained in the dynamic field of MS research. This has changed our view of the disease, clinical methods and strategies for diagnosis, in addition to which treatment and monitoring of disease activity have been refined. Based on an improved knowledge of the immune system and its involvement in the pathogenesis of MS several immunomodulating / immunosuppressive drugs are now being tested and promise to increase our therapeutic options in the near future. Nevertheless comprehensive multidisciplinary care and symptomatic treatment also play an important role in improving quality of life for people with MS. By organising for the 4th time a joint ECTRIMS and RIMS meeting, we intend to further foster collaboration and knowledge exchange in this very important area. We hope that the programme of ECTRIMS/RIMS 2010 that is centred around fundamental mechanisms of importance for the aetiology and the pathogenesis of MS; evolving MS therapies; cognitive and behavioural dysfunctions; and progress in MS rehabilitation, will meet with your interest. Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city and major port, located on the beautiful west coast, offers the visitor many historic sights, museums, cultural events and shopping opportunities. The congress venue, the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, is located in the city centre within walking distance from most of the hotels. This will facilitate an active participation in the meeting with the possibility of also enjoying the atmosphere of the town. We are looking forward to meeting you in Gothenburg, in October 2010. We are certain to have a most successful and exciting meeting which will give you lots of opportunities to improve on existing and create new contacts. J. Lycke E. Luoto M. Clanet L.

  • Considerable Investment and Immense Expansion During the 1900S Laid the Foundation for Transforming the Port of Gothenburg Into Today’S International Maritime Hub
    400 YEARS OF EXPERIENCES, IDEAS, ADVENTURES AND SUCCESSES. When work started on building the Stora Hamnkanalen canal at Brunnsparken in 1620 nobody could foresee that this was the start of what would be Scandinavia’s largest port. Ever since then, the Port of Gothenburg has played a central role and served as the strong link in Sweden’s contacts and trade with the rest of the world. It was from here that the Swedish East India Company through its voyages to Asia transformed Gothenburg into northern Europe’s prime commercial centre in the 18th century. It was from here that hundreds of thousands of Swedes emigrated to the USA in the 19th century. And it was here that huge investments and vast expansion in the 20th century laid the foundation for what has made the Port of Gothenburg into today’s top player among international ports. For 400 years the Port of Gothenburg has served as Sweden’s gateway to the world. Now we’re looking ahead with our sights firmly set on becoming the world’s most competitive port – to guarantee Swedish trade and industry global access for at least the next 400 years. Elvir Dzanic, CEO, Gothenburg Port Authority 7 GUSTAV II ADOLF In October 1619 King Gustav II Adolf issued a decree regarding the first “order for construction assistance” for the port. It was the starting-point for the Port of Gothenburg. STORA HAMNKANALEN Gothenburg’s first purpose-built canal was Stora Hamnkanalen, built in the 1620s. THE PORT OF GOTHENBURG IS OLDER THAN THE CITY OF GOTHENBURG.
