      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

The World Congress of Neurology 2013

November 1, 2013

by Wolfgang Grisold

 

From September 21 – 26, 2013 the WCN 2013 took placein Vienna. This year’s biannual meeting of the WFN was a joint meeting with the Austrian Society of Neurology (OeGN) and the European Federation of Neurology (EFNS). The modern and spacious centre of the “Reed Messe” had enough space for many meetings of all participating societies. The WFN also fostered meetings of the neurological subspecialties in order to provide a worldwide cooperation and synergy for neurology. For the EFNS it was the last congress before the Joint EFNS-ENS congress next year. It closed the historic link of EFNS congresses, which started in Vienna in 1991.

The programme was developed in close cooperation with all organising societies by joint chairs of the scientific committees and the teaching course committees.

6400 Participants from 135 countries attended and visited both, the scientific sessions with teaching courses and satellite symposia as well as other congress related activities. Special fees of attendance were provided for participants of low income countries. The participants appreciated the excellent public transport in Vienna, and the ambience of the congress venue.

The excellent scientific program was preceded by a lecture of Nobel laureate Erik Kandel, who in his lecture „the age of insight“ gave an excellent insight into the development of neuroscience and neurology around the turn of the last century. Erik Kandel not only managed to explain the development of neurology, but attached this history to contemporary art and artists.

Erik Kandel

The topics of the scientific programme were preceded by excellent morning lectures, and comprised the main topics of neurology. Some of the topics were hosted jointly with subspecialties and the WFN. Many of the scientific topics were followed by free papers, which gave some insight into the development in subspecialties. The poster sessions were evaluated by a faculty and for each topic a poster prize was awarded.

The teaching courses were well attended, and took place on all days of the congress. As a principle, teaching courses of main topics were placed to precede the main topic in the scientific session. The concept of daily free teaching courses was continued, and also hands-on courses and “soft” topics such as teaching, palliative care, patient advocacy (a joint course with the AAN), how to write papers were included and emphasize that the role of teaching in neurology by far exceeds the scientific topics, but also has to aim at skills and advocacy, in order to provide better patient care. As at the previous meeting the concept of „hands-on“ courses was continued.

The young neurologist had a specific teaching course and a successful visit of the Vienna University Clinic took place.

For the first time the WCN included a patient day, which aimed at the Austrian patients for local reasons, and was well prepared by press and media. All presidents either gave introduction (Prof. Hachinski and Prof. Hughes) or even participated with a lecture (Prof. Auff) to emphasize the importance to devote lectures and topics to patients. Chosen topics were stroke, MS, Parkinson’s disease and brain tumours. A vivid question & answer session followed each topic, and emphasized the need to communicate with patients and carers.

Satellite symposia were sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry, well attended, and without exception given by excellent speakers. Industry and the pharmaceutical industry provided a much appreciated sponsoring, and the exhibition provided good opportunities for communication.

Press and publication
The WCN 2013 made an impact in press and publications. Press conferences, interviews, press clippings were provided on initiative of the Austrian Society of Neurology and made worldwide impact in press clippings, reports and interviews. This aspect of media presence is important for neurology, and helps to raise the awareness for neurological diseases not only locally but worldwide. All accepted abstracts are published in the JNS which is a quotable source for all attendants (J Neurol Sci).

The WCN not only provided an excellent programme but was also the perfect venue of personal exchange in a formal and informal way and also celebrated the Tournament of the Minds which gave a good stage for the worldwide knowledge and competition, combined with an element of show event.

What remains in the memory of a congress participant? In addition to an excellent programme, and the exchange of knowledge and introduction of new scientific developments, often the social programme “sticks” in the memory: the dynamic opening with short and poignant speeches and a surprising flash mob was followed by a get-together. The highlight was the concert at the Vienna Musikverein, which was the site of world premiere of a waltz composed by the WFN president Vladimir Hachinski. Finally a traditional Viennese Heuriger gave  leisure and pleasure of an informal Austrian meeting with Austrian wine, food and networking.

It was a pleasure to have you in Vienna, and on behalf of the ÖGN, WFN and the EFNS we want to thank you for your contribution.

But, the show goes on and the next WCN will be taking place in South America in Santiago de Chile in 2015. Be prepared, and visit!
