This year has so far been a busy one for everyone involved in education at EAN, with plenty of exciting new projects joining the traditional fixtures in our education calendar. As Chair of the EAN Education Committee, it is my pleasure to give you a brief update on some of our recent activities and to remind you about our brand new programmes with deadlines still open.

Our research paper of the month is a pooled retrospective non-randomised cohort study, evaluating the functional and safety outcomes of direct to angiography (DTA) treatment paradigm vs repeated imagingin the different treatment windows and on-call hours vs regular hours in patients undergoing thrombectomy.

For August 2021, we have selected two COVID-19 papers of the month, investigating the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines in England and Israel, respectively.

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.

For July 2021, we have selected: Langezaal LCM et al. Endovascular Therapy for Stroke Due to Basilar-Artery Occlusion. N Engl J Med 2021; 384:1910-1920. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2030297
