The 2015 has been a very important year for the EAN, mainly signed by the celebration of the first EAN Congress in Berlin last June. Many other important achievements have been reached by the EAN during this year, thank to the hard and generous work of the EAN President, Executive Board, Committees, Panels, and so many other EAN members. This end of the year gives us the special opportunity to thank all who have contributed to the EAN successful development, and to invite everybody to look forward to even more and better to come.

The European Academy of Neurology was founded just 18 months ago and is becoming increasingly accepted as a hub for scientific knowledge and premier education (please see the EAN movie). This is reflected in the number of neurologists and trainees who join the EAN as members. To remind you: EAN has close to 25 000 associated members from 47 national European Member Societies, but accepts neurologists wanting to upgrade their membership as individual members.

Interview with Chris Wells – President of EFIC – European Federation of IASP Chapters
December 1, 2015David Vodušek (DV): The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) declared at the last World Congress on Pain in Buenos Aires that the period, October 2014 to December 2015, would be the Global Year Against Neuropathic Pain. What do you consider the most important achievement of this action? Chris Wells (CW): The Global Year Against Pain evolved from an idea of David Niv’s, former European Pain Federation (EFIC) President and IASP Council member. He conceived the idea of a Day Against Pain in 2001 and this developed into first a Week and then a Year Against Pain, which IASP and EFIC now jointly sponsor and promote. -

Europe has a strong tradition of clinical discoveries, scientific breakthroughs and academic teaching in the field of neurology.
