As specified by Thomas Voit: “It is necessary for us to exchange, compare and learn from others how to progress, such are the objectives of this congress. And this will all be done in a collaborative frame of mind”. This unique gathering of international myology experts is of great importance for the community of ‘myologists’ because it encourages exchanges necessary to overcome the obstacles for the development of innovative therapeutics and the establishment of clinical trials in man. 

Among the developments for this Myology 2008 edition is the advocacy to approach both themes of the conference each day -fundamental and therapeutic- across transverse subjects or  pathology. Another novelty is that the last day of the congress will also be the 1st day of the 5th international congress of rehabilitation in neuromuscular diseases (May 30 to June 1, 2008).
