Two reports on Clinical Fellowships that took place in 2021

The first EAN 2021 Webinar series has concluded with three excellent sessions by some of the most prolific neurological experts in their field. This is just one of many new initiatives the new EAN e-Learning Editorial Board and e-Learning sub-Committee have been planning to expand our online educational offers for EAN members.

On 21 June 2021, the virtual general assembly of the EAN’s Resident and Research Fellow Section (RRFS) took place during the 7th annual congress. The assembly received broad participation from RRFS members who were interested in gaining insight into the annual report as well as the new Treasurer elections.

I am happy to be writing to you today about our EAN 2021 Virtual Congress, which was a great positive in what continues to be a challenging time.

The Human Brain Project (HBP) and EBRAINS, together with the EAN, invite the entire scientific community to join the forthcoming workshop on the Future of Medical Data Sharing in Clinical Neurosciences taking place virtually on 9-11 December 2021.
