WELCOME TO ICP 2022 International Symposium on Intracranial Pressure and Brain Monitoring 14 - 18 NOVEMBER 2022

It is my great pleasure to welcome the ICP meeting to Cape Town in 2022, taking place for the first time on the African continent.

Africa is the ancient birthplace of humankind, and so this meeting offers us the chance to return to our origins and taste our shared history. Importantly, it also offers us the occasion for expansion, not only geographically, but in the application of the vast knowledge base accumulated through the work of the ICP community to the African context.

This may be relevant to current topics like neurotrauma and hydrocephalus, but also novel topics like brain infection. Africa offers the ICP community the opportunity to examine how our science and skill set can have broader reach, and the ICP meeting offers Africa an opportunity to be exposed to innovative ways of investigating and treating neuropathologies.

On the very edge of the African continent beautiful Cape Town offers the perfect venue for the discussion of ideas that boldly reset scientific boundaries.

Our meeting will be hosted in the intimate setting of the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business conference centre, with tiered levels of presentation space to allow as much contact or distance as required.

Under the watchful gaze of one of the 7 Wonders of Nature, Table Mountain, we hope that ICP 2022 will be the moment to come together once more and celebrate humanity’s most magnificent facet, the brain, in this meeting about “Exploring the Edge!”
