Interviews

Here we publish interviews and/or “colloquia” with opinion leaders operating within or outside neurological borders, but in close connection with the EAN objectives, perspectives and goals. These INTERVIEWS are designed to give to our readers a deeper knowledge on the kind of work and activities that are running on in international organisations, such as WHO and in professional focused scientific societies, and so on.
