European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) 2024

European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) 2024 is organized by European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) and will be held from Oct 13 - 17, 2024 at National Palace of Culture (NPC), Sofia, Bulgaria.

Description:
The congress theme will be “Innovation, Education, Leadership”, reflecting the current need to thoroughly discuss the future of neurosurgery in connection with technological advances that can improve neurosurgical education, training and treatment, aiming to create the next leaders of neurosurgery in Europe and all over the globe.  

The programme will include several sessions dedicated to technological advances and innovative prospects and projects, always maintaining its high quality in presenting new original neurosurgical research.

The EANS Congress is the highlight and the largest event of the busy educational portfolio of the association. Attended by 2.000 neurosurgeons from Europe and all over the world, the EANS Annual Congress is the main meeting point of the European Neurosurgical Community, and the connecting link between European Neurosurgery and all continental neurosurgical societies.

Rotating in a different European city every year, the EANS Congress presents the platform where original contemporary research is presented, debated upon, and celebrated. Each year the congress is organized under a different main theme, as it explores all aspects of neurosurgery and its relation to those it serves.

The EANS Annual Congress is open to all neurosurgeons and neurosurgery related professionals, from all levels of training, that seek scientific and community development. It is considered as the event where research, cooperation, and solidarity are celebrated and enhanced between peers and restless individuals striving for better Neurosurgery through Innovation, Education and Leadership, which is also the moto of our 2024 Congress.
