Welcome to Hong Kong for the 9th international conference of The International Society of Vascular Behavioural and Cognitive Disorders - VasCog 2018. In this dynamic Asia's World City where East meets West, this 2018 meeting will be sparkling with stimulating debates and presentations for sure.

Crossing boundaries, Closer bonding. We hope our scholars and clinicians from different research areas and nations walk the miles together towards our common goals in tackling cognitive disorders. Here we exchange ideas, share experiences and is where we start collaborations. We believe, by inspiring each other, we can come up with more accurate diagnoses, better cures and more effective prevention by involving a multi-disciplinary approach.

The long-established VasCog Society has been encouraging integration and participation of young researchers as one of our visions, so we are very happy to meet new young faces in our meetings. You are welcome to join the Society, and a working group too.

We look forward to seeing every one of you in Hong Kong in November at VasCog 2018.
