We are thrilled to announce that the Certificate in Clinical Research in Neurology (CCRN) will officially launch at the upcoming EAN Congress 2026 in June, with applications opening on 9 December 2025!
Developed to support the next generation of clinical researchers in neurology, the CCRN is a two-year programme designed for individuals in the early stages of a research career, mid-career neurologists, and research fellows (RRFS members). Participants will be equipped with the essential knowledge and practical skills to design, conduct, analyse, and publish high-quality clinical research.
Throughout the programme, participants will benefit from expert-led workshops, virtual hands-on working group sessions and online courses, and will be exposed to real-world research challenges in the field of neurology.
What to expect from the CCRN?
- Participation free of charge for RRFS, Full and Corresponding Individual Members from the WHO European region
- In-person kick-off workshop at the EAN Congress 2026 in Geneva, offering an interactive start to the research journey
- Combination of online courses, hands-on working group sessions, and a second in-person workshop at the EAN Congress 2027 in Gothenburg, all tailored to reinforce research skills and foster long-term academic development
- Certificate ceremony at EAN Congress 2028 in Rotterdam
