Data sharing stimulates science in all scientific disciplines, including the Clinical Neurosciences. Promotion of data sharing and the implementation of standardized harmonization rules among a global research community reduces the burden of unexploited research and plays a critical role in mitigating the problems of reduced sample sizes. Today, medical and research activities in clinical neuroscience produces a massive amount of data that could leverage our knowledge and understanding of brain diseases. Unfortunately, despite growing incentives for open data, most of it remains currently locked in hospitals or labs, either for regulatory or cultural reasons.
The Medical Informatics Platform (MIP) was developed in the framework of the Human Brain Project (HBP) as an innovative tool to investigate, compare and analyse large patient datasets distributed across centers without requiring the data to be transferred and stored outside their site of origin. The platform is integrated in EBRAINS, the sustainable European Research Infrastructure for brain-related research and legacy of the HBP.
Recently, the HBP has started a pilot project with the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) with the idea to use the MIP to promote clinical data sharing using a federated approach. EAN is the primary scientific and educational European organisation in the field of Clinical Neurosciences, including more than 45,000 members, as well as 47 European National Societies. EAN is committed to scientific progress and aims to keep Europe at the forefront of neurological research and to maintain its position as one of the world’s scientific hotpots in neurology.
CALL FOR REGISTRATIONS
The HBP and EBRAINS together with the EAN invite the entire scientific community to join the forthcoming workshop on the Future of Medical Data Sharing in Clinical Neurosciences. This event aims at exposing and openly discussing all issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. We propose a platform to disclose the preliminary results of these use-cases, four brainstorming sessions involving EAN Scientific Panels, demonstrations and a hands-on session, which will highlight important aspects and issues of medical data sharing and offer participants the possibility to understand how to use the MIP for their own applications.

The European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Brain Health Strategy will greatly contribute to the resilience of Europe’s Healthcare system by not only reducing the burden of chronic neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, stroke, epilepsy, through a preventive medicine approach but by further enhancing treatment and rehabilitation through more neurology research. In collaboration with its 47 national neurological societies and its more than 45,000 members, it aims to integrate a ‘One brain, one life, one approach’ into neurology care across Europe.
As COVID-19 continues to test the resilience of Europe’s healthcare systems, it is vital to ease the growing burden of neurological disorders. The recent development of National Brain Health Plans in several EU members states has brought much needed political momentum to this issue, and with Brain Health being brought to the EU agenda via the 2022- 2023 Trio presidency, it is sure to feature as key component of healthcare strategy in the near future.
This event will address the following key questions:
- What is brain health & how does it relate to neurology and other fields of healthcare?
- How can an approach centred on Brain Health improve healthcare outcomes in Europe?
- What is the current landscape of Brain Health initiatives in Europe?
- What is the future for Brain Health in the EU?

We are delighted to welcome you back to the historic city of Vienna for the 8th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), on June 25-28, 2022!
The 8th EAN Congress will be a truly pan-European meeting, bringing together neurologists and neuro-scientists to network and exchange knowledge to tackle major challenges in neurology. In previous years EAN congresses have highlighted the developments in the host nation, but in 2022, following virtual congresses in 2020 and 2021, we will break with that tradition. We have planned a meeting with a pan-European flavor, celebrating the opportunity to meet once more in person in a hybrid meeting that will also maximise virtual participation, building on our experience in 2020 and 2021.
Our overarching theme for EAN 2022 is ‘Getting Evidence Into Practice’. Topics will include: Which clinical trial designs best inform practice? What evidence informs the use of diagnostic tests? Are guidelines a useful tool for improving outcomes? How do we get guidelines applied and implemented? These questions are timely and relevant, and we are excited to hear from selected experts from neurology and other disciplines.

We look forward to seeing you to Vienna!
