Previous Spring School reports

Reports of all spring school courses can be found in EAN pages.

EAN Spring School 2020 was cancelled:

After careful consideration, EAN has decided to cancel the in-person version of the 2020 Spring School.
Despite every effort being made to organise the safest possible event, EAN has decided that the risk due to COVID-19 was too high at that point and the safety of all participants and the wider public is always our top priority.

The accepted 130 grantees of the 2020 Spring school were invited to participate in an online Spring School organised in a very fast and ad-hoc manner with the faculty. A big thank you to all or faculty speakers for being so spontaneous and always act in the best way to enhance education in Neurology – even in such unpredictable times.

All participants and EAN individual members are invited to view the webcasts (on demand) of the virtual Spring School 2020.
