What is the YNNN? The association of Young Neurologists, Neurosurgeons and Neurophysiologists (YNNN) was founded in the 1970’ies in Denmark.

It started with small meetings in basements, but in the last 10 years the association has grown into a nation-wide organization with about 350 members, and the annually joint meeting gathers more than 100 members.
