As a medical society, they promote excellence in the practice of general neurology throughout Europe, leading to improved patient care. They also aim to keep Europe at the forefront of neurological research & maintain its position as one of the world’s scientific hotspots in neurology. As Europe’s Home of Neurology, the EAN brings together national neurological societies, individual neurologists & related scientists to speak with one united voice. The EAN campaigns at the European level to ensure continued resources for research into neurological disorders & diseases, while working closely with patient organisations to ensure the interests & perspectives of patients are embedded in everything they do.

This includes online educational resources, schools, & courses with further support in the form of fellowships & grants. They nurture & guide the next generation of European neurologist. Ensuring excellence in neurology requires continuous learning throughout the careers of all neurologists in Europe. To facilitate this, the EAN organises the annual EAN Congress which attracts more than 6,000 delegates each year to share research results & exchange current best practices.
