Dear members,
The international congress organised by the five Belgian associations dealing with the assessment of personal injury and by the European Institute of Experts and Expertise will take place on Friday and Saturday 24 and 25 November 2023 at the BLUE POINT in Liège.
The chosen theme is “Accidents in all their aspects”. The goal is to provide an update on the latest medical, judicial and financial (insurance, etc.) developments. Numerous experts will present their subjects in short 15-minute presentations.
Psychiatry, neurology, vascular surgery, disaster medicine, urology, the legal profession (lawyers), the judiciary, emergency services, home care, financial settlement of claims, patient representatives, prosthetic and orthotic aids, etc. will all be discussed.
All aspects of accidents
The conference will review the latest developments in medical, legal and financial matters (insurance, etc.) in psychiatry, neurology, vascular surgery, disaster medicine, urology, the role of magistrates and lawyers, emergency services, home care, financial settlement of damages, patient representation, prosthetic and orthotic aids, etc. At the same time, the Royal Belgian Society of Forensic Medicine will be holding a conference on forensic medicine and criminal law in a second room. Most of the speakers are academics. It should be noted that there will also be a separate section dealing with forensic medicine and criminal law, organised by the Royal Belgian Society of Forensic Medicine.
The speakers will be spread over two days (one day on Friday and half a day on Saturday morning). Simultaneous translation will be provided, as the speakers are both French- and Dutch-speaking. The full programme will be announced shortly.
The 26 speakers (or more) are spread over several rooms.
There will also be a number of social activities, including a wine tasting session led by one of our expert colleagues who is also a renowned oenologist (for a small fee).
The full programme will of course include, as usual, the welcome coffee, morning and afternoon coffee breaks and a lunch on Friday.
Last but not least, on Friday evening, the gala dinner will be hosted by chef Jean-Luc DANIEL, of the famous restaurant “Le Cabochon”, known for his culinary presentations on RTBF as well as for organising numerous meals for various international organisations.
Finally, we would like to point out that the Blue Point has a guaranteed car park for 120 cars, and that parking spaces are readily available in the streets adjacent to the establishment.
