The European Association of Young Neurologists and Trainees (EAYNT) is the independent representative of junior European neurologist. EAYNT was founded in 1999 in Brussles, has almost 800 members.
Our major aim is to advocate young neurologists interests in major European and worldwide bodies. In addition we promote European training exchange and try to enhance European national core curricula by comparing differences of medical specialisation and disparities in working conditions, level of education throughout Europe.
