scientific panels

In the recent months, the EAN have reorganized its Scientific Panels. This was a rather complex and time consuming procedure, starting with the European National Neurological Societies nominating its representatives for each panel, an approval of EAN individual members who asked to serve in the different Panels, through the call for applications for the Management Group (MG) chairmanship and membership, and ending with the elections, involving more than 1000 EAN Panel members.

The purpose of EAN is to promote excellence in Neurology in Europe and among other topics the bylaws have detailed this ‘to increase the … standards of neurological services, to support neurological research and to be an organ speaking for neurology as the major medical specialty caring for patients with neurological disorders’. A very important structure of the Society to continuously fulfill this mission are the 31 scientific panels of EAN. These panels did exist already within the former Societies EFNS and ENS but they were organized differently. As they have received some reformation I would like to briefly outline their current function and why this reorganization was necessary.
