Better understanding of RLS and narcolepsy neurobiology

EAN Guideline Production Group is happy to announce the participants for the European guideline education and Cost-Conscious Healthcare (CoCoCare) programme - pilot project aimed at filling the education gap between the importance of medical guidelines for cost-effective healthcare and the fact that this matter is rarely included in medical training programs.

The EAN Scientific Committee met on Sunday, March 03, 2019 at the EAN Head Office in Vienna for the first time in its new configuration. The focus of the Scientific Committee (SC) for the next two years is to increase the exchanges, synergies and interactions with the Scientific Panels, that are the backbone of the European Academy of Neurology.
