The thematic school is open to students, scientists, clinicians, teachers and industry personnel involved in research on vestibular pathologies. The main objective of the school is to provide practical training on the mechanisms of vestibular pathologies and on scientific and clinical exploration methods of these pathologies. It is also an opportunity to sensibilize scientists to the practical reality of the dizzy patient management and to the use and limits of diagnostic tools and medical devices currently available. Finally, it is an opportunity to provide clinicians with a concrete vision of new technological and scientific advances in the field of research.

“The VERTINNOVATION school offers high-level training in a friendly atmosphere under Marseille’s sun.”

Sondes Manoubi

ENT doctor, Tunis

"The VERTINNOVATION summer school stimulates ideas, leads to discoveries, brings knowledge, allows multidisciplinary meetings in a warm and benevolent atmosphere. It allowed me to embark on an ongoing research project on sleep disorders in vestibular areflexic children, to develop sensori-cognitive-psychomotor adaptations in my practice, to share them with groups of psychomotor therapists concerned with vestibular deficits in children. "

Catherine Balay

Psychomotrician, Lyon

"Not issued from the medical field, the VERTINNOVATION Summer School allowed me to discover the fundamentals of the vestibular system, the practices in the management of patients suffering from balance disorders and the latest advances in the field.

It was also an excellent opportunity to get closer to practitioners in order to better understand their needs, to adapt and improve technological solutions in order to better assist them in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of balance disorders, as well as to simplify the course of patient treatments. "

"I would like to thank the entire GDR Vertige team for having accepted my application for the 2017 summer school. This opportunity allowed me to participate in a center of excellence between clinicians and researchers on the subject of Vertigo. The desire to bring participants together in small groups is an opportunity for incredible exchanges, allowing one to be fully involved in the training. It is a formidable link between one's own experience and the state of clinical research in this field . What an experience !!! "
