The EPNS has been organising training courses in paediatric neurology since 2003 specifically aiming at trainees/residents but also at qualified paediatric neurologists who want to refresh their knowledge on certain topics. The aim is to cover most main topics in the syllabus over a three-year cycle and to promote contact between individuals in the speciality in different parts of Europe. The course has a highly interactive character and participants are encouraged to bring cases to discuss. The number of participants is limited and applicants who wish to attend both courses will be given priority over those who wish to attend one of the two courses.

 

The current cycle of training courses is taking place for the period 2024-2026 in Ferrara, the splendid city of art, the magnificent Renaissance capital and a UNESCO World Heritage location.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ferrara!

Destination:

  • Ferrara is a splendid city of art, to be enjoyed by walking its streets, its character – this magnificent Renaissance capital – revealed on every corner. Through its glorious past, you can understand the roots of its present.
  • The Este family governed here for three centuries and gave the city the appearance it has today: a uniquely planned city, harmoniously fusing Mediaeval and Renaissance architecture, Europe’s first modern city. It is precisely these characteristics that secured its UNESCO World Heritage status.
  • It’s a peaceful city to wander on foot or by bike, every step re-living the magical atmospheres of the past.
