Neuropenews: How does it feel to be Chair of the “EAN Programme Committee”?
Paul Boon: I feel it as an honour and privilege to be appointed a member of the EAN Board. I am excited to be allowed to play a role in the development of a brand new and ambitious society that is to become the prime forum for neurology and neurologists in Europe. I am very committed to my role as the programme committee chair. I will work with the president, the other board members and members of neurological subspecialty societies to make the EAN congresses, meetings and symposia of very high quality.
Neuropenews: What is your main message to the neuro-community?
Paul Boon: The EAN is providing neurologists with a potentially very strong instrument to enhance the professional and academical quality and status of neurology in Europe. More specifically, the EAN intends to become a preferred provider of high quality information, consensus statements, practice parameters and guidelines and aims at organising a yearly, top quality European general neurology congress. We need our individual and institutional members to work together to make sure that the EAN can actually achieve this high level ambition.
