🧠 What if every European had the support to protect their brain health?
Just weeks ago on Brain Health Day (18 March), the Brain Health Mission, together with EAN, EBC, and FENS, brought scientists, patients, and policymakers to Brussels to explore exactly that.
This March, the EAN Science School brought together 57 early‑career neurologists from 21 countries for an intensive few days dedicated to "Updated Concepts and Emerging Fields in Translational Neurosciences".
Thank you to all participants, speakers and organisers for making this edition a success!
At the EPA Congress 2026 in Prague, Elena Moro, EAN President, emphasised the need to move beyond fragmented care.
Thank you to the European Psychiatric Association for the invitation to be part of this important discussion. 🧠
We had highly productive Scientific Committee meeting and Guideline Production Group meeting recently!
We thank all Scientific Committee members and Guideline Production Group members for their valuable contributions and continued commitment.
Would you like to be part of the future of neurology in Europe?
Serving as an officer on our Committees and Working Groups is a unique chance to grow, contribute, and make a meaningful impact on the neurology field.
Deadline extended to 30 April 2026!
