13th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology - Gothenburg 2027

Dear Colleagues, dear Friends,

It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 13^th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology, taking place in the fascinating city of Gothenburg, Sweden, on 12-15 June 2027.

We head back to Scandinavia, this time to Sweden’s second city, a historic trading centre that grew into an industrial hub before blossoming into a modern cultural and gastronomical gem. As the largest port in the Nordic countries, Gothenburg has absorbed the influence of a constant stream of visitors for hundreds of years, which is perhaps what has led to it being named the world’s most sociable city in 2017. This also makes it extremely accessible, as well as perfectly adapted to hosting large events, with superb infrastructure and a well-established culture of sustainability. With the Kattegat arm of the North Sea to the immediate West, this archipelagic city is also, not surprisingly, bursting with excellent seafood restaurants, with a widely appreciated culinary scene featuring multiple Michelin-starred institutions. 

On this Nordic excursion, we will be exploring the frontiers of treatment in neurology with the Overarching Theme Transforming Neurology: Embracing Every Brain. Where once treatment options for many neurological disorders were limited to supportive care, advances in neuroscience have driven our discipline forward into an era of expanding therapeutic possibilities. Innovations in genetics, immunology, neuroprotection, and precision medicine look set to lead the way to increasing progress in the shape of disease-modifying therapies personalised interventions, and integrated digital health approaches. This exciting realm of discovery and improvement in neurological care will form the basis for a selection of invited lectures and sessions at the congress, including one Symposium and two Focused Workshops.

I am greatly looking forward to welcoming EAN members and friends alike to this feast of neurological knowledge and diving into the latest developments in our specialty with all of you.

On behalf of the EAN Board and the local organising committee: join us in Gothenburg for the EAN Congress 2027!
