Scientific Programme
The Conference brings together scientists and clinicians from a wide range of disciplines and from across the globe to gain a better understanding of the growing skeleton in health and disease. The scope ranges from basic molecular mechanisms to clinical aspects, from bone physiopathology to treatment. Attendees have an interest in rare and inherited bone disorders, general aspects of bone metabolism and bone mass in children, adolescents and young adults.

Continuing Medical Education (CME)
The application for CME credits by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) is in process and more information about this will be uploaded in due course.
CME certificates will be sent electronically after the event to those who require them, on completion of a CME evaluation form (a link will be sent to all delegates at the end of the conference).
