The European Academy of Neurology (EAN) is a non-profit organisation that unites and supports neurologists across Europe. Currently, 47 European national neurological societies as well as 4000 individuals are registered members of EAN. Thus, EAN represents more than 45,000 European neurologists.
The EAN was founded during the Joint Congress of European Neurology in June 2014 by the former European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS) and European Neurological Society (ENS). The academy's current president is Professor Paul Boon (Ghent, Belgium).[1]
The EAN organises the annual congress of European neurology, which is held in different European cities and is attended by approximately 6,000 international participants.
