In memory of the internationally renowned French child neurologist, Professor Jean Aicardi (1926-2015), the EPNS, in partnership with MacKeith Press, has established a series of award lectures. The biennial award recognises a respected and admired doctor who has attained major achievements in child neurology. The award presentation and lecture take place at the EPNS Congress which is held every two years. We are delighted to announce that Professor Lieven Lagae (Belgium) will be presented with the prestigious 2nd Aicardi Award at the 13th EPNS Congress in Athens. The award presentation and lecture will take place at the Congress welcome reception on Tuesday 17 September 2019. The title of the talk which Professor Lagae will deliver is ‘Miss Understanding is the Greek Goddess of Clinical Research’, covering the problems, challenges, successes and failures of clinical research in paediatric neurology.
