14th European Paediatric Neurology Society Congress
Welcome We are delighted to announce the relaunch of the 14th Congress of the European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS) taking place on 28 April – 2 May 2022 which had previously been planned to take place in June 2021; however, it was postponed due to the Covid19 pandemic.
Our Congress in 2022 will be a hybrid event taking place in person at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, United Kingdom and also on a virtual platform. We hope that as many of you as possible will be able to join us in Glasgow and we are planning an exciting and interactive online experience.
We wish our Congress to respect both the needs for face-to-face scientifi c discourse and the needs of the planet. We will provide delegates with the tools to consider and mitigate the impact on climate change of their attendance.
The EPNS Congress provides an opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the rapidly evolving fi eld of child neurology, including basic science, diagnostic methods, and novel treatments. You can network with colleagues and industry partners all focused on delivering the best possiblecare for children with neurological disorders.
The Congress will take place in the welcoming, vibrant city of Glasgow, which is well served by rail and air.
We look forward to seeing you in Glasgow and online!
Professor Sameer M. Zuberi, MDEPNS President
