It is with great gratitude and pleasure that I report my European Academy of Neurology Research Fellowship at the Clinical Department of Neurology, Medical University of Innsbruck. This 8-months experience (March-October 2017), performed under the supervision of Professor Markus Reindl, allowed me to join an excellent research center for the study of antibody-mediated disorders of the Central Nervous System.

Thank you for hosting applicants of the EAN Clinical Fellowship. How would you evaluate this EAN educational opportunity?
