Are you ready for a new and rewarding challenge?
Would you like to be part of the future of neurology in Europe?
Then now is your chance! Following the election of the next EAN Board (taking place on 29 June 2024, during the Assembly of Delegates), the Board will be looking for new officers to join the ranks of its committees and working groups!
Discover more about the current EAN Board members and their contributions by clicking here.
Separate calls for expressions of interest for the positions of Education Committee Chair and Programme Committee Chair will also be published soon.
More information about the Board, Assembly of Delegates, and committees can be found in the EAN Bylaws.
After ten highly successful and productive years, the EAN aims to continue the excellent work of its dedicated officers while giving new colleagues the opportunity to contribute and bring fresh perspectives towards our mission to reduce the burden of neurological disease in Europe.
All EAN officers must be (or become) EAN Full Individual members, must attend the EAN annual congress, and at least one other face-to-face meeting during the year. Regular email contact is expected, as well as participation in monthly virtual conferences. Expenses for any meetings outside the congress will be reimbursed by the EAN, but the position is otherwise carried out entirely on a voluntary basis.
On average, the EAN committee work amounts to two hours per week, however this may vary depending on the role and committee. Members of our standing committees serve EAN for a two-year term, with a possible extension for a further term of two years.
Applications will be considered by the Board and the EAN President during the summer, based on qualifications and specialty while considering gender balance and currently underrepresented nationalities.
If you are interested, please send a short CV and brief outline (~ 250 words) of your experience and motivation to headoffice@ean.org by Monday, 17 June 2024.
We are asking for expressions of interest to join the committees and working groups listed below:

For both committees, a track record or master’s degree in neurology or medical education is particularly desirable.
