      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: EAN’s scientific activities provide opportunities to both learn and contribute

May 1, 2023

by Thomas Berger, EAN Scientific Committee Chair

Dear EAN Members, colleagues, and friends, 

Once again, I have the honour of updating you on all the recent and forthcoming activities relating to the EAN Scientific Committee. We have had a busy six months since my last update in November, and I am pleased to be able to share a nice mixture of news this month, ranging from freshly launched projects and successfully held events to ongoing work and opportunities to lend your own expertise to our efforts and share in the achievements of our fantastic EAN scientific community.  

So, let me start with the freshest material: the EAN Cost-Conscious Healthcare—or ‘CoCoCare’— Project. This was originally an initiative of which EAN was a consortium member, but is now a fully-fledged EAN project, with the aim of teaching neurology residents and early career neurologists how to develop and implement high-quality, evidence-based guidelines. Clinical practice guidelines are a crucial tool for the neurological community and developing them is a highly important function of the EAN. CoCoCare is a new way for us to support our own Resident and Research Fellow Section (RRFS) members who wish to boost their knowledge and skills in guideline development, to ensure we continue with a solid base of experience in the production of high-quality guidelines. The call for applications is now closed, but I am delighted to say that we received many applications, which are currently being reviewed by the EAN Guideline Production Group.  

Moving on to another relatively new, but now established project, the EAN Science School—which was launched with great success in 2022—took place for the second time back in March. After the first edition proved so popular, it was clear that this event would become an annual occurrence. In 2024, we will be welcoming another group of eager participants to Salzburg for three days of lectures, workshops, networking, and a healthy dose of tourism. Read the report on the recent edition for a detailed picture of what this school is all about, and look out for application for the next edition, opening on August 20! 

Now onto the ongoing work and opportunities. From informing guideline production, to highlighting recent research, to co-creating the programme of our annual congress, the EAN Scientific Panels are the backbone of most of the EAN’s scientific activities, and they are currently working on topic proposals for EAN 2024, to be held in Helsinki, Finland. Every year the call for topic proposals is sent to all panel members in early spring. Any EAN panel member can submit proposals (for various sessions) to the panel’s Co-Chairs and Management Group. The Co-Chairs and Management Group then consider these proposals for the panel’s final submission, which this year will be made by 24 July.  

To be so closely involved in the shaping of the EAN Annual Congress, may be a great privilege, but it is a role that is open to application from all EAN members. In Autumn, we will be opening the call for expressions of interest for election to the Scientific Panel Management Groups. So, if you have ever felt the desire to play a direct part in the scientific activities of the EAN and believe you can help steer our Scientific Panels in helping to determine the direction of neurology in Europe, then please consider applying, and keep your eyes open for this call! 

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to give you a short update on our EAN NEuroCOVID RegGistrY (ENERGY). The number of contributors to the registry continues to constantly increase and we currently have over 3,700 cases included from 44 centres in 30 different countries. Recently, a fourth article was published on the data collected by this project, on Comparative features and outcomes of major neurological complications of COVID-19, which is available to read in the February issue of the European Journal of Neurology (volume 30, issue 2). All four of the studies published so far can be found at the bottom of the project webpage. 

It would be remiss of me not to also briefly mention our forthcoming annual congress in Budapest on July 1-4, obviously a highlight of the year for the EAN and the culmination of a huge amount of work for our many panels and committees. Registration is open (with discounted fees for EAN members who complete their applications by 31 May), and we have an exciting programme lined up. I hope to see as many of you as possible onsite and online in July! 

Best wishes
Thomas Berger, EAN Scientific Committee Chair
