Overarching Theme Geneva 2026

Through this exciting Overarching Theme, the EAN Congress 2026 will explore the scope of how computing is finding its way into neurological practice.

Current technological advances in computing will very rapidly transform clinical medicine and society, and eventually human life. The outsourcing of core cognitive capacities from human agents to artificial intelligence offers huge opportunities but also significant challenges and risks. In clinical neurology, the foreseeable impact of computing will range from applications like restorative therapies to the very fundamentals of our profession such as clinical reasoning and decision making.

Cooperation

EAN is working with several partner societies and organising its Scientific Programme together with them.
