21st Congress of the Nordic Federation of Midwives “Midwifery across borders”

Welcome

It is a privilege to invite you to Iceland for the 21st Congress of the Nordic Federation of Midwives “Midwifery across borders“, the year that the Association of Icelandic Midwives celebrates its 100th birthday.

This Congress will provide an active forum for presentations and discussions. The scientific programme will be prepared by our Scientific Committee together with clinicians and researchers to create an interactive and exciting congress. This is a great opportunity to meet with colleagues from other Nordic countries, to exchange ideas and last but not least to make friends.

Reykjavík is an excellent venue for the Congress. It is the capital city of Iceland and the northernmost capital in the world. Along with an ambitious social programme, participants will have the chance to explore some of the natural attractions of Iceland.

Detailed information on the scientific programme will be available on the Congress website in due course.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee we warmly welcome you to Iceland.
