Something really special

The World Parkinson's Congress takes place after the Summer School in Montréal. Participants of the Summer School will have the chance to volunteer during this event, instead of paying the admission fee.

The accommodation for an extended stay in the city is your own responsibility. We may however be able to assist in negotiating good rates if we know how many participants would like this opportunity.

Tip: if you are presenting a poster on this congress about your current research work, this may assist you in fundraising your way from anywhere in the world to our Summer School, through your local institutions!
