The European Academy of Neurology (EAN) promotes neurological excellence by working closely with 48 European national societies to support 45,000 members. By providing access to continuing education, resources, platforms, and cross-country insights, EAN positioned itself at the forefront of neuroscience leadership.

EAN was founded in 2014 when the European Neurological Society and European Federation of Neurological Societies merged. Now, EAN provides practical and useful resources for its members to share with their communities all across Europe. 

The annual EAN Congress is the society’s annual event where educators gather to share their knowledge with EAN members through workshops, sessions, courses and more. This year’s EAN Congress is taking place June 21 through June 24 in Helsinki.

Here is a look at some of the clinical guidance and recommendations that the EAN provides to clinicians.
