      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

EAN Head Office Profiles: Patrycja & Martin

July 28, 2022

The EAN Head Office in Vienna, Austria, is the nerve centre of the European Academy of Neurology, serving as the main base of EAN activity, with various personnel also operating from elsewhere around Europe. With so many of our staff interacting with EAN Members from a distance, but relatively few chances to meet in person, we decided to use this platform to introduce the team behind the scenes. Each month, we aim to present two of our faithful crew. This time it’s Patrycja, our Acting Head of Membership, and Martin from the Office/IT Department.

Name: Patrycja Zak

Department: Membership

Role: Acting Head of Membership

Joined: September 2021

…

I applied for the Membership Assistant position at EAN as the vision and mission of the organisation attracted me strongly. I perceive neurology as one of the most interesting science branches and to be a tiny part of the development in this field is a great honour for me. Even though the Membership Department is one of the smallest, our work is crucial for every other department as we have direct contact with our current and future members, and we are the first ones they approach when they want to get involved in any kind of EAN activities. Since February 2022, I am happy to be the acting department head while the Head of the Membership Department, Lucia Pavlakova, is on maternity leave. This is a great challenge but at the same time an opportunity for me to learn as much as possible and support EAN in most efficient way.

I moved to Vienna a year ago, from Krakow, Poland, where I have spent all my adult life. I graduated from the Jagiellonian University as a lawyer and then passed the bar exam. Most of the time I was working either as a paralegal or legal advisor, but I also spent some years of my career working as a procurement specialist and controller in EU-funded infrastructure projects. Before starting to work at the EAN, I worked for four years as an attorney at law in the second biggest hospital in Poland. My fields of expertise were clinical trial agreements and public procurements. As I never had the courage to study medicine, working in a medicine related field, with so many brilliant minds is partially fulfilling my dreams.

When I am not working, I spend as much time as possible outdoors. In Vienna and its neighbourhood this is easy, as the number of woods, bike paths and trails are uncountable. My new discovery is MTB trail riding and ski touring, but I also love climbing and hiking. I am a great fan of the EAN Brain Health Strategy, especially the part focusing on physical activity.

Name: Martin Dunzinger

Department: Office/IT

Role: IT Coordinator

Joined: September 2021

…

After two years at an Austrian insurer, I came here to the EAN and its wonderful team to work in the Office/IT department as an IT-coordinator. I assist in coordinating the ongoing database projects, develop our own tools to process the collected data, prepare analyses and handle hardware issues in the office. The EAN collects a lot of data from various sources, which I gladly take care of, and I consider myself to be the go-to data person.

I was born in Innsbruck and when I was two years old my family moved to Vöcklabruck in upper Austria. At the age of 15 I started tourism school in Bad Ischl. I wanted to learn how to cook, since I always enjoyed that. Yet after finishing there, I went to Innsbruck to begin my university studies; cooking wasn’t for me. Luckily, I made the right decision and changed my major from architecture to management and economics and in 2018 I finished my master’s degree in applied economics.

In 2019 I moved to Vienna to start my position in the risk management department at the Vienna Insurance Group. There I started coding my first scripts, working with databases, and generally working a lot with computers. The financial data was not really satisfying for me and thus came my decision to leave this position to begin something new.

In my leisure time I like to cook, do sports and from time to time play some video games. I have enjoyed helping in the kitchen since early on in my life and after tourism school cooking became a relaxing hobby. I like seeing the content faces of nice people that enjoy my food, although it took me all day to prepare it.

Another thing that has stuck with me since tourism school is running and hiking. I like being on my feet and in nature, breathing fresh air while completely exhausting my body. In addition, I picked up swimming and in the last years cycling as well. So, I guess the first triathlon is not far away. But this is not really my motivation, I just want to feel the rush of being out of breath and almost unable to walk.  

Lastly it must be said that the team of the EAN is something I have never experienced in my life. It is a pleasure to work here, and I am grateful for my wonderful colleagues and the knowledge I can acquire. The congress 2022 was the first for me and I will not forget it. I am looking forward to Budapest 2023! See you there.
