The annual SSN meeting was replaced in 2007 by a 2-Day Joint Meeting organized in collaboration with the National Centre of Competence in Research “Neural Plasticity and Repair” (NCCR-Neuro, with a leading house at UniZh and ETH Zh) and the Swiss Society of Multiple Sclerosis (SSMS). The meeting took place in the Von Roll Areal of the University of Berne. The Poster Session took place in a building which was used as a garage just a couple of weeks before the meeting. This large Hall allowed a comfortable poster session with enough space for exhibiors, a food corner and music.
