The two European Reference Networks (ERNs) for Rare Neurological Diseases and Rare Neuromuscular Diseases (ERN-RND and ERN-EuroNMD) are launching a new joint educational program in collaboration with the European Academy of Neurology.

The 11th Regional Teaching Course (RTC) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) took place in Accra, Ghana. Dr. A. Charway Felli, President-elect of AFAN hosted the RTC held at the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Application for 2020 is open from 1 August until 31 October 2019

The purpose is to support training and experience for European Neurologists in any area of basic or clinical or applied research in neuroscience. The research work must be carried out at a European academic neurological department outside the country of residence. All applications should demonstrate experience/training of clear value to the home department/individual beyond that available in their own countries/institutions.   

The next EAN Autumn School will take in place in Loutraki, Greece, from October 17-20, 2019. The programme for the Autumn School is now available online on the EAN website covering the topics of cognitivie dysfuntion and headache. If you would like to attend the workshop, you need apply soon. The deadline for applications is July 31, 2019

The guideline education and Cost-Conscious Healthcare (CoCoCare) programme was launched prior to the 5th EAN Congress in Oslo. 

In May, we celebrated together the 20th Anniversary Course with 120 young neurologists from more than 34 countries.

Since 2018, EAN gives 60 neurologists in training the chance to increase their knowledge of clinical neurology. The basic idea is to illustrate and showcase how experienced neurologists and sub-specialists approach specific clinical presentations, including an update on relevant diagnostic and treatment approaches for key conditions in the relevant areas.

Extended deadline: 7 February 2019

Dedicated to 120 clinical neurologists in training who did not yet complete their residency/ clinical speciality training who wish to boost their knowledge and to get the chance to enable personal contacts among participants and faculty members. Contributions to the optimal organisation of neurological care, neurological services and postgraduate education throughout Europe will be presented.

The Moroccan Society of Neurology (MSN) was very pleased to organise with the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) the EAN Day on the margins of the Maghrebian Congress of Neurology, held in the beautiful and charming city of Marrakech.
