The 2nd International Congress on ADHD was held from 21 - 24 May 2009 in the Hofburg in Vienna, Austria. The charm of this city rich in history and culture, the famous “Viennese School of Medicine” and many extraordinary hot spots made the congress in the heart of the city a spectacular event. This congress followed the 1st Congress in Würzburg that was a big success and step forward gathering outstanding scientists on ADHD from all five continents with more than 1.700 attendees from 70 countries.
