The 2025 newsletter from the International Danube Symposium for Neurological Sciences and Continuing Education outlines recent developments and initiatives, highlighting the Symposium for Multiple Sclerosis (SMS), which conducted a large-scale biomarker survey across MS centres in Central-Eastern Europe, covering 107 million inhabitants. Publications from this effort appear in journals such as Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, PLoS One, and International Journal of Molecular Sciences. A Danube Headache Programme is also being launched to assess regional headache centres.
The newsletter also introduces the Danube Neuroscience Research Laboratory in Szeged, Hungary, focusing on neurological disorder mechanisms and promoting collaborative research across the Danube region. A featured article emphasises the growing impact of case reports in neurology, showcasing their role in clinical innovation and global accessibility through open-access publishing and AI-driven indexing.
Additional sections include updates on WFN activities, financial guidelines for symposium organisers, and a calendar of upcoming international neurology congresses, including the EAN Congress 2026 in Geneva.
The newsletter also provides links to recommended publications and outlines the structure and leadership of the Danube Symposium.
