      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

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

Training and Education Committee (TEC) – Spring Report 2013-2014

May 1, 2014

by Jean-Marc Léger

 

In the past year, the EFNS TEC has continued working with the same leadership.

The Committee consists of the following members:
Jean-Marc Léger – Chairman
Members: Thomas Berger (e-learning); Hannah Cock (ENS representative); Joke Jaarsma (EFNA); Pavel Kalvach (responsible for Spring School and DD programme); Detlef Kömpf (Secretary General; responsible for Regional Teaching Courses); Vitalie Lisnic (TC profile of participants); Erich Schmutzhard (responsible for TF Africa and relevant RTCs); Edina Varga (EAYNT); László Vécsei (Member of the Liaison committee; responsible for Fellowship; European Board Examination);

A letter to the Transition Task Force and the future EAN Board was sent suggesting keeping all educational activities. Therefore all activities listed below should become EAN Educational Activities. It will be offered to the EAN Board that the current committee will go on working during the foundation period and that until 2015 all members, who have served two terms in the EFNS committee, will be exchanged.

1. Reports sub-committees and activities

All educational activities are promoted on flyers, in Neuropenews, on the EFNS website, in special mailings, literature tables at other congresses, mailings to European neurological departments, on Facebook and twitter.

1.1. Spring School

The report of the Spring School 2013 was presented at the last MC meeting in September. Currently preparations for the 2014 Spring school in May 2014 are made. Detailed information can be found on a separate file.

Spring School 2015: 7-10 May. Topics: Neuro-oncology; Language and higher nervous activity; Neurotraumatology

1.2. CME sub-committee – see separate report

1.3. D-D programme – see separate report

1.4. E-learning sub-committee – see separate report

1.5. EFNS Fellowship

Fellowship applicants 2014:
42 (35 eligible) applications have been received.
Scientific: 33 (28 eligible)
Educational: 9 (only 7 eligible)
24 applicants came from Western countries / 11 from Eastern countries.

Result:
In 2012, the number of fellowships was reduced by the Management Committee, because of financial reasons. Due to the excellence of applications received, the MC decided to raise the number again and to give in 2014 6 scientific, selected among 28 proposals, and 3 educational fellowships, selected among 7 proposals. the 2014 Fellowship winners were published in the April issue of Neuropenews.

The proposal for 2014 is:
6 scientific fellowships of 1 year (4 for fellows from Eastern Europe and 2 for fellows from Western Europe)
3 educational fellowships of 6 months (1 from Eastern Europe and 2 from Western Europe)

Like for the other educational grants, a flyer “EAN Fellowship programme 2015” will be printed and will be distributed at congresses at which EAN will have a booth; and it will be sent to all European neurological departments. Deadline for application will be 31st December 2014.

As in the previous year, applicants have been asked, how they learned about the EFNS fellowship (more than one answer possible!): 8 – from the Head of Department; 4 – Flyer; 5 – Newsletter; 26 – Website; 7 – Congress; 2 – other/friends

The participants’ final reports are published in Neuropenews.

1.6. Regional Teaching Courses

The RTCs are announced in the “Educational activities Flyer” and on the website.

The number of applications for RTCs is increasing. It was decided that from 2012 on, only two RTCs per year will be organised. However, the TEC will propose to the TTF/future EAN Board to organise 3 RTCs per year, if enough applications are received.

In 2013 two RTCs were organised, one in Odessa, Ukraine and one in Ohrid, FYRO Macedonia. (Reports: https://www.efns.org/Past-EFNS-Regional-Teaching-Courses.307.0.html)

For 2014 two applications have been received: Baku, Azerbaijan (April 2014) and Sofia, Bulgaria (October 2014).

For 2015 one definite application (Lviv, Ukraine) has been received.

Three other cities have shown interest in organising RTCs: Tbilisi, Georgia and Podgorica, Montenegro and & Surgut, Russia

Erich Schmutzhard takes care of the agenda for the Task Force “Neurology & Sub-Saharan Africa” and related regional teaching courses (RTC) with the help of Eveline Sipido. This year’s 6th RTC in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will take place in Lusaka, Zambia and will be hosted by the University of Zambia (June 19 – 21, 2014). One RTC costs about €50K. For the 2014 RTC, financial contributions have been received from the following scientific organisations: EFNS, WFN, IBRO, MDS, WSO. The AAN is considering its financial contribution to the RTC and news on their decision is to be expected in the near future.

For the 2014 RTC, an unrestricted educational grant from the Lundbeck Foundation was also obtained.

Plans for 2015: The following countries expressed the wish to host the 7th RTC (or a future RTC): Sudan, Tanzania, Nigeria and Benin.

The topics to be addressed in 2015 will be chosen by the participants to the 6th RTC in Lusaka, Zambia. Further information on the chosen topics will be provided as soon as possible following the 6th RTC.

The final reports, incl. pictures, of all RTCs are published in Neuropenews and on the www.efns.org and in future on www.eaneurology.org.

1.7. Teaching course sub-committee (TCC)

J-M Léger and H. Cock are responsible for the TCs at the upcoming congresses.

TCs in Istanbul 2014: Altogether 25 TCs will be organised; they will be Saturday – Tuesday in the afternoon; 3 Practical sessions and 3 Interactive sessions will be organised.

TCs in Berlin 2015: 25 TCs were selected. Furthermore 4 Hands-on courses and 3 Interactive sessions will be organised.

TCs in Copenhagen 2016: the call for topic proposals are currently sent out.

The TEC has sent a proposal to the future EAN that a Teaching course sub-committee should be founded. This committee should consist of 1 chairperson and about 10 members, who should ideally be the chairpersons/ representatives of the most important panels. This committee should meet before the congress programme committee meets and present the finalised TC programme to the CPC.

2. European Board of Neurology Examination (EBNE)

The 2013 board examination was held during the ENS Meeting in June in Barcelona. The report on the 5th board examination was published in Neuropenews, July 2013

The number of applications is increasing every year.

From this year on, it will be held during the EFNS/ENS Joint Congress and EAN Congress, respectively.

The deadline for application for the 2014 board exam will be April 15.

Questions for the board examination are received from the EFNS Panels/ Sub-committees and also from the eBrain question bank.

3. Co-operation with other organisations

3.1. EFNA (European Federation of Neurological Associations)
At the upcoming congress in Istanbul a special session “EFNS/ENS/EFNA Awareness Session: Improving physician-patient communication” will be organised.
Joke Jaarsma, representing EFNA, is a member of the TEC.

3.2. EAYNT (European Association of Young Neurologists and Trainees)
EAYNT will be invited to join the EFNS booth in the exhibition area at the Istanbul congress. There experienced neurologists will meet with members of EAYNT.
An EAYNT session will be held on Sunday, 1 June at the Istanbul congress.
Edina Timea Varga is a member of the TEC, representing EAYNT. EAYNT is informed on EFNS educational activities on a regular basis. EFNS is helping with the promotion of EAYNT activities.

3.3. ENS
Hannah Cock was invited to become a member of the TEC. ENS and EFNS educational activities have been merged. The 2015 activities will already be announced as EAN educational activities.
