Resources: Education
EAN offers a variety of educational oportunities that underpin the EAN vision to be the Home of Neurology and advance high-quality patient care. From study programmes outside the EAN congress or grants to support projects in other European Neurological Departments or online learning possibilities.
The Education Committee and the Teaching Course sub-Committee are the two committees in charge of all educational aspects to fulfill EAN’s mission and aim to define the standard skills of a European neurologist and to provide as much education to European neurologists as needed.
Educational Events
Dedicated to clinical neurologists in training who did not yet complete their residency/ clinical speciality training
who wish to boost their knowledge and to get the chance to enable personal contacts among participants and faculty members.
Contributions to the optimal organisation of neurological care, neurological services and postgraduate education
throughout Europe will be presented.

Since 2018, EAN gives 60 neurologists in training the chance to increase their knowledge of clinical neurology. The basic idea is to illustrate and showcase how experienced neurologists and sub-specialists approach specific clinical presentations, including an update on relevant diagnostic and treatment approaches for key conditions in the relevant areas.

AN-RTCs aim at bringing teaching of excellence to residents in neurology and neighbouring specialties in European countries, that will not be able to host an EAN Congress, and to regions further way from central Europe allowing participants to attend the free-of-charge course of high level education at low (travel) costs.
The purpose is to provide basic teaching in neurology and thus also establish friendly relations with all colleagues.
Please find more information here.
The EAN-Day aims at bringing excellent teaching and special recognition by the EAN to our National Neurological Member Societies (and Corresponding Societies). This day takes place directly prior or after a National Neurological Society meeting and, is a strictly academic educational initiative with financial support from the EAN of up to € 7.500,-.
EAN constantly strives to enhance links to our National Neurological Societies Members. By means of the EAN-Day, we would like to support those European countries that are unable to host the annual EAN congress by bringing EAN/international speakers to a national audience. This new initiative strengthens the EAN’s other study programmes such as Regional Teaching Courses (RTC) and the annual Spring School.

The RTCs in SSA aim at bringing teaching of excellence to residents in neurology and neighboring specialties in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa.
The RTC is organised in cooperation with AFAN – African Academy of Neurology - and other scientific societies who through their contribution make the RTC possible.

Fellowships
The objective of the “Clinical Fellowship Programme” is to provide a well- defined clinical observational experience in a department with recognised expertise in a specific field.
With this programme, neurologists that are still in the process of training, or recently qualified and setting up a new service/practice can learn from observing the usual practice in that new department, including any or all of clinical practice, service structures or specific techniques conducted in the Hosting Department.
Please find more information here.
The purpose is to support training and experience for European Neurologists in any area of basic or clinical or applied research in neuroscience. The research work must be carried out at a European academic neurological department outside the country of residence. All applications should demonstrate experience/training of clear value to the home department/individual beyond that available in their own countries/institutions.
Please find more information here.
Exams
The European Board Examination in Neurology is considered to be a tool for the assessment of neurological training and for boosting its standards. It is an important step towards further harmonisation in European neurology.
Successful candidates from all over the world are conferred the title "Fellow of the European Board of Neurology (FEBN)"

eEducation
ebrain is designed to support training and continuous professional development for clinical neuroscience trainees, consultants and non-specialists. It is one of the world's largest, most comprehensive web-based training resources in clinical neuroscience, it is not for profit, is owned by the profession and is available free to all EAN members.
You can find more information here.
Webinars produced by EAN, as a collaboration with other Societies or endorsed by EAN.

Webcasts from past EAN educational events and congresses.
EAN’s Master Classes are held by European experts in neurology for registered and selected (first come-first serve) RRFS members. They are based on online recordings of the past EAN annual Congresses and give members of EAN the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in specific topics and specialties.

Leadership and advocacy is strongly linked and advocacy is an implicit duty of any physicians, yet awareness and teaching is needed.
EAN as largest European Neurological Society has inserted this task as a major priority in the next years to help to develop leaders for European Neurology.
