描述（由申请人提供）：第三届世界帕金森大会（WPC 2013）的目的是解决全球对帕金森病（PD）多方面问题的持续对话需求，并提出解决方案，包括新的研究方法和更好的PD患者护理模式。WPC 2013将于2013年10月1日至4日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行，是帕金森病领域唯一一次将整个PD社区聚集在一起进行高水平科学和非专业会议的国际会议。出席会议的代表包括神经科学家、医生、PD患者、护理人员、护士、康复专家、政府代表以及来自近60个国家的倡导团体成员。为期四天的计划强调了PD科学的进步和对患有这种疾病的人的护理模式。让美国的研究人员了解世界其他地区的科学进步，将有助于他们探索新的想法，并建立他们可能没有考虑过的合作。 来自PD社区的广泛支持和参与（已经超过140个合作组织和少数赞助商）表明，WPC是这些广泛团体会面和建立合作的合适场所。它将允许和鼓励卫生专业人员，研究人员，PD患者和护理人员之间的互动。这种相互交织的想法将刺激新的创新研究，确定未满足需求的潜在解决方案，推进PD患者的治疗，并激励代表们继续他们的工作。 包括PD患者（PwP）在内的49名委员会成员设计了一个关于PD独特方面的详细计划，以加深研究人员/临床医生对PD研究的承诺，并促进对PD研究较少的方面的研究。该计划预计将使PwP和护理人员接触研究，并增加参与临床试验的兴趣。发言者 从PD社区的各个领域邀请会议，以最大限度地发挥学习潜力和对话，包括大型和中型以及更亲密的研讨会。上午的全体会议将着眼于神经元的死亡，非运动表现，以及对PD管理的新观点。这将为以后的会议每天进行进一步讨论奠定基础。 每天都会有科学和生活与帕金森的海报展示。海报展示和图尔斯参观旨在最大限度地加强代表之间的互动。每天在基础和临床研究、临床治疗学和生活质量方面最杰出的四张海报将在口头"热门话题"会议上展示，并将举行海报图尔斯参观活动，密切关注该领域最有前途的工作，并加强社区的对话和合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the 3rd World Parkinson Congress (WPC 2013) is to address an ongoing need for worldwide dialogue on the multifaceted problems of Parkinson's disease (PD) and to propose solutions, including new approaches to research and better models of care for people with PD. The WPC 2013, to be held from October 1-4, 2013, in Montreal, Canada, is the only international meeting in the field of Parkinson's that brings the whole PD community together for high-level scientific and lay sessions. Delegates at the meeting represent neuroscientists, physicians, people with PD, caregivers, nurses, rehabilitation specialists, government representatives, and members of the advocacy community from nearly 60 countries. The four-day program highlights advancements in the science of PD and models of care for people living with the disease. Exposing researchers from the US to the scientific advancements made in other parts of the world will help them explore new ideas and build collaborations they might otherwise not have considered. Broad support and involvement from the PD community (already over 140 partnering organizations and a handful of sponsors) shows that the WPC is the right venue for these widespread groups to meet and build collaborations. It will allow and encourage interactions between health professionals, researchers, and people with PD and caregivers who might not otherwise meet. Such inter-digitation of ideas will spur new innovative research, identify potential solutions to unmet needs, advance therapies for people with PD and inspire delegates to continue their work. Forty-nine committee members, including people with PD (PwP), designed an elaborate program about unique aspects of PD to deepen the commitment of researchers/clinicians to PD research and foster research on less studied aspects of PD. The program is expected to expose PwPs and caregivers to research and increase interest in participating in clinical trials. Speakers are being invited from all areas of the PD community with sessions formatted to maximize the learning potential and dialogue, including large and moderately sized as well as more intimate workshops. The morning plenaries will look at the death of neurons, non-motor manifestations, and new views on management of PD. This will set the stage daily for further discussion in later sessions. There will be both Scientific and Living with Parkinson's posters displayed each day. Poster sessions and tours are designed to maximize interaction among the delegates. The four most outstanding posters each day in basic and clinical research, clinical therapeutics and quality of life will be presented in an oral "Hot Topics" session and poster tours will be held, paying keen attention to the most promising work in the field and to increase dialogue and collaboration in the community.
