UNCONVENTIONAL MEDICINE AT THE

BEGINNING OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM Time for integration

AIM OF THE CONGRESS is to make a bridge between conventional and unconventional medicines creating

an open forum for official medicine and for the various unconventional

approaches to disease, illness and care. With this aim academics, scientists

involved in research on unconventional medicine, practitioners, consumers and

health care authorities and politicians will take part in the Conference

COST-B4 is a European scientific action aimed at the development of collaborative research

between members States of the European Council, in the fields of science and

technology

Action COST-B4 was launched in 1993 with the aim of: “investigating the

therapeutic significance of unconventional medicine, its cost-benefit ratio and its

sociological and cultural importance as a basis for the evaluation of its possible

usefulness or risks in public health”
