National Tutor Organisation: ASEND/SAKENT · Swiss Association for Teaching Neuro-Developmental Therapy according to Bobath.
It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us at the Biennial EBTA Congress 2020 to be held for the first time in Switzerland at CHUV (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois- University Hospital Centre Vaud) in Lausanne from 9th to 12th September 2020 22th to 25th September 2021.
The European Bobath Tutors Association is a network of Bobath teaching teams, comprising over 200 Bobath Tutors. EBTA’s tasks are to set, maintain and update standards of Bobath courses across Europe. Additionally, EBTA has a mandate to encourage and implement therapy research and encourage EBTA tutors to help in developing countries.
Bobath/NDT offers an individualized holistic way of observation, analysis and treatment of people with Cerebral palsy delivered by expert physio, occupational and speech therapists in collaboration with medical doctors.
Bobath Concept focuses on maximising the potential of children and adults with Cerebral palsy and neurological conditions in their own family / school / social environment.
We are part of a large network of therapists working together with families, school teachers, caregivers, psychologists, medical doctors in neurology, rehabilitation, paediatricians, orthopaedics and colleagues who produce specialized technology and equipment.
EBTA Conferences aim to provide transdisciplinary scientific education for Bobath/NDT therapists and medical doctors. However, all professionals working with people who have Cerebral Palsy and their families, and adults who have this condition, who are interested in the Bobath approach are welcome to join the congress.
The program will be complemented with a professional exhibition, offering companies and agencies a unique opportunity to show their latest products and discuss ideas for the future.
We are sure that this network involved in Cerebral Palsy and developmental disorders will benefit from this Conference.
That is why we are delighted to welcome you to our Congress, and are sure that we will all benefit from this exchange of ideas and knowledge.

Just 45 minutes from Geneva International Airport by road or rail, Lausanne is easily reachable from all international destinations. And being located at major rail and road interchanges, all of Central Europe is within easy reach.
The city of Lausanne overlooks Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe, and faces the majestic splendour of the snow-capped Alps. It boasts a backdrop of scenic beauty that is truly breathtaking.
Home to a population of 130 000 and the hub of a metropolitan area of 350 000, including 80 000 international residents, Lausanne boasts business, cultural, sports and educational facilities that are truly remarkable for a city of its size.
Lausanne embarked on its path to sustainability in the 1990s by ensuring that all local government services reflected a respect for the environment and the integration of nature into town planning. In 2004, Lausanne’s forward-thinking energy policy enabled it to become the first city to be awarded the European Energy Award Gold, a title that was reconfirmed in 2009.
Lausanne’s compact size, perfect accessibility and well-developed infrastructure make it a top choice for international conferences. Not least, its standing is supported by a cosmopolitan, multilingual population and workforce.
The city of Lausanne lies in the western part of Switzerland, in very close proximity to France and Italy, in the heart of Central Europe. Located just 40 min by road or rail from Geneva, Lausanne is easy to reach by air through Geneva International Airport.

Milan: 2 hours 30 minutes
Paris: 3 hours 40 minutes
Brussels: 6 hours 30 minutes
All Swiss cities are reachable in between 40 minutes and 2.5 hours.

For the period of the conference, Lausanne Tourisme can furnish 2000 rooms (250 in 5*, 850 in 4*, 650 in 3* hotels, 250 in other categories). There are 1500 additional rooms in Vevey and Montreux and many others situated between Lausanne and Geneva within 30 minutes of the conference venue.
