2nd European Cooperation Neurology Workshop Te, Czech Rebublic, April 20 – 25, 2001 In the second course 61 participants from 17 countries took part. For the first time young neurologists from Greece and Italy joined the workshop. Discussions to practical issues in neurology aimed at international comparisons and to propo- sals for future standards. The collection of data in the first and in the second course gave material for 2 papers in scientific journals: Barto A, Kalvach P, Trost M et al: Post-graduate education in neurology in central and eastern Europe. Special article. Eur J Neurol, 2001, vol. 8, p. 551-558 Herzig R, Kalvach P, Petkova V et al: The current availability of neurological in-patient services in post-communist Central and Eastern European countries. Neuroepidemiology, 2003, vol. 22, p. 255-264 The first and the second workshops invoked a new spirit of neurological solidarity, gave rise to new friendships and triggered contemplations about new international links. In the words of Prof Jim Toole who visited the second course as president of the World Federation of Neurology „it was most impressive to be with the young neurologists ... in this ... one o the stellar accomplishments of the ten years old EFNS.“ The cultural program has been performed by a quintet of students from Pardubice conservatorium, works from Bach, Mozart, Britten and Milhaud.
