It gives me immense pleasure to extend a warm ‘Yokoso’ (‘Welcome’ in Japanese) to members, guests, speakers, delegates, sponsors and exhibitors to the Annual Scientific Meeting in Yokohama, Japan from September 2 to September 4, 2020.

With the continuous strategic review and planning, the ISCoS Annual Scientific meeting has been progressively setting higher standards and is gradually becoming the hub for scientific deliberations for all disciplines concerned with SCI management. We are sure the 2020 meeting will have a great scientific programme which will kindle the minds of all the participants for finding better and newer techniques for spinal cord injury management and research.

The ASM in Japan will be an unforgettable experience that will combine the latest scientific advances with excellent opportunities for fruitful discussions and cultural exchanges in a unique atmosphere backed by gastronomic delights. We promise you an exciting scientific forum that will be up to your expectations and an opportunity to meet experts from around the world in this global platform.

We look forward to seeing you in Yokohama, Japan next year for what promises to be a great scientific and social fiesta. We are confident that you will enjoy the unique gathering and the spectacular views of the city of Yokohama.
