The ICLAM triennial congress will be hosted in 2016 by the city of MAASTRICHT In the Netherlands. After the Success of 2013 congress in Madrid, Spain, ICLAM moves inside Europe and we may expect another great congress thanks to the high level of exigence of our Dutch colleagues.

No doubt that the scientific programme will be an outstanding one, and once again the ICLAM congress will welcome high level speakers coming from the five continents to give us the very best update in medical knowledge, to discuss about new products within the insurance industry, medical underwriting, claims management and about the most important advances in medicine that may improve our knowledge of medical sciences and our comprehensive approach of insurance medicine.

Ethics will also be a key point of this next congress, as well as the impact of the working and social environment on our behavior and the individual approach of disability.

We expect a lot from the scientific committee and we're looking forward to welcoming You in the wonderful city of Maastricht in May 2016.

Dr F.Chouty, ICLAM President

Your

travel

to Maastricht

One could almost say that Maastricht lies outside the Netherlands, either in Belgium or Germany. The city

lies in the very southern „tail of the Dutch lion“. It will take you 2 hours to get to Amsterdam Schiphol airport

by train, but only 1 to the airport of Brussels in Belgium, or Cologne in Germany.

Before booking a flight to Amsterdam, please look at Brussels and Cologne as alternative too.
