The Scientific Committee is fully committed to a great mission: To increase and share the best clinical knowledge and the cutting-edge information from translational research in all neurological fields. Main actions are i) to facilitate exchanges and synergies with the Scientific Panels ii) to support the Guideline Production Group (update and diffusion of expertise and best clinical practice), iii) to interact positively with other scientific societies with reciprocal exchanges and liaise with the European Affairs sub-Committee to increase the awareness of Neurology in Europe.

Every month, you will find an original self-portrait of one Scientific Committee member, who will respond informally to the same 5 questions. Here we go!

Dear Prof. McNicholas, thank you for accepting this interview. In light of the work towards an MoU with EAN, we would like to introduce the ESRS to the EANpages readers.

ESNR, the European Society of Neuroradiology, is with 5,000 members Europe’s leading radiological subspecialty society. Founded in 1969 we are celebrating our 50th birthday this year. A wide range of diagnostic and interventional neuroradiological topics including brain and spine imaging, head and neck imaging and pediatric neuroradiology are housed under the ESNR umbrella.

Created in 1983, the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) is the main association representing psychiatry in Europe. It speaks on behalf of the 80,000 European psychiatrists, as well as the 44 national associations of psychiatrists in Europe. The association aims to promote European psychiatry in the clinical, research and training fields. Its main lines of action include: joint training of psychiatrists to facilitate the creation of a European identity for the profession; sharing of knowledge and best clinical practices in Europe and worldwide; collaboration with European partner organisations and the development of lobbying with European institutions to improve psychiatric and mental health care in Europe. A highlight of EPA's activities is the annual organisation of the European Congress of Psychiatry. Its last edition was held in Warsaw in April 2019 and brought together 4300 professionals in the sector.
