EANS2019 | Dublin, Ireland INDEX

Welcome!

We are delighted to welcome you to EANS2019, the 19th European Congress of Neurosurgery, taking place in Dublin from 24 to 28 September 2019.

The theme of the Congress is "Technology, Techniques, Training and Transparency" and we were working hard to ensure that the programme strongly reﬂects this. We are thrilled that so many eminent speakers and experts have agreed to join us. We oﬀer our thanks to our outstanding Organising Committee for their invaluable help.

There are signiﬁcant opportunities for delegates to share their own work: through oral presentations and e-posters! We will continue to oﬀer our highly regarded "Masterclass" – a great opportunity for younger members of the neurosurgical community to learn from world-renowned experts in a small, interactive setting. We also continued with a 4th year of travel grants for young neurosurgeons who would otherwise be unable to attend the Congress – see page 5 for details.

EANS2019 will provide you with the perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends, to forge new connections, and to share knowledge with the European and international neurosurgical community.

We trust you will enjoy your time here with us!

EANS2019 | Dublin, Ireland 3 About the EANS

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.

We are a professional community whose aim is to enhance the quality of neurosurgical patient care through training, education and research. A key way in which we fulfil 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 our flagship event.

A growing number of fellowship and observership opportunities are available to our members, as is a comprehensive online library of neurosurgical material via the EANS Academy.

To ﬁnd out more about the EANS, our activities and membership please go to www.eans.org or visit us during the congress at the EANS Booth in the Entrance Foyer on Level 0.
