About EANS2018

The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) is both an independent federation of European national neurosurgical societies and a fast-developing association of individual neurosurgeons from around the world, aiming to enhance the quality of neurosurgical patient care through training, education and research. A key way in which the association fulfils this objective is by facilitating the exchange of scientific information at the highest level through the organisation of meetings, symposia and educational courses - with the annual congress as its flagship event.

This year's congress will focus on Neurosurgery 2018 - facts, fiction, and future. The pre-congress course as well as the keynote speeches will be organized around the future in the discipline of neurosurgery. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss on eye level topics and improvements in neurosurgery and exchange ideas during interesting sessions.
