What is the YNNN?
The association of Young Neurologists, Neurosurgeons and Neurophysiologists (YNNN) was founded in the 1970’ies in Denmark. The YNNN was formed from the Danish associations of Neurology (DNS), Neurosurgery (DNKS) and Clinical Neurophysiology (DSKN), but it is an independent association. 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.
The European Parliament marked Brain Health Day: Prevention, Policy, Progress with a high‑level programme hosted by MEP Angelika Winzig, bringing renewed political attention to Europe’s urgent need for an integrated brain health strategy.
