EAN Scientific Panels’ Management Group Elections 2024-2026
We are delighted to present the distinguished roster of the EAN Scientific Panels’ Management Groups for the upcoming 2024-2026 term, marking a significant stride in the trajectory of neuroscientific leadership.
Amidst an impressive array of 238 applications from 34 countries, including Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, the final Management Group lineup reflects the unwavering commitment to excellence across 30 nations.
In our commitment to gender equity, it is a pleasure to announce that 45% of the 56 newly appointed Management Group members are accomplished female neurologists. Notably, the Co-Chairpersonship has seen a commendable surge in female leadership.
Every member of the Scientific Panel received an invitation to participate in an anonymous online polling system, ultimately placing the final decision in the trusting hands of the Scientific Committee and the EAN Board.

Furthermore, in an effort to broaden the perspective of its leadership, all EAN Scientific Panels closely involve both young neurologists and sub-specialty societies in the Management Group.
A Call for Applications was opened for RRFS (Resident and Research Fellow Section) representatives for several Scientific Panels. The fact that there are more than 140 RRFS Members who applied to represent their colleagues within the 28 EAN Scientific Panels, speaks to their great interest in seizing this opportunity to lead alongside the highly experienced senior members of the Management Groups.
The EAN cooperates closely with many sub-specialty societies (based on Memoranda of Understanding) and therefore, partner societies will have their representatives in the relevant Scientific Panels’ Management groups as well.
The significance of the Scientific Panels and their visibility is constantly increasing, and this is certainly a result of great communal effort over the years. This lively election period has shown the strong motivation of EAN members to drive Scientific Panels forward and take science to greater heights.
Anticipating with great enthusiasm the plans and initiatives of our Scientific Panels under the stewardship of the new Management Groups, we extend our heartfelt best wishes for their endeavours.
Our sincere thanks go out to all panel members for their active participation in the elections and continuous support throughout the year. Your dedication is truly appreciated and integral to the continued success of our collective pursuit of excellence in neurology.
