We are delighted to announce the 2024 participants of the EAN Tournament for neurologists in training. Ten participants will each make a six-minute presentation during our special Tournament Finals session at EAN 2024, which will also be broadcast live on EAN TV! As last year, both the basic and clinical categories will be contested within one grand final.
A panel of four experts will judge the presentations and select two winners (one basic, one clinical) at the end of the session. The winners will receive free congress registration for the 11th EAN Annual Congress, in Seville, Spain, in 2025 including four nights’ accommodation and a travel grant. Two runners-up (one basic, one clinical) will also receive free registration for EAN 2025.
Tune in to the EAN Tournament Finals on Saturday, 29 June 2024, 17:15 – 18:45 in Room Amsterdam
