About EANS 2016
The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) is a fast-developing independent association, both of European neurosurgical societies and of individual neurosurgeons from all over the world which arranges congresses, scientific meetings and symposia, including the biennial European Congress of Neurosurgery, the Annual EANS Meetings and European Training courses.
This year's congress theme of EANS 2016 is "Neurosurgery: from the Classics to the future." Exploring the past, present and future of the neurosurgical specialty, the European Congress will take an in-depth look at current standards, advances in this field, and gives an outlook for the profession and developments in neurosurgery. The Scientific Porgramme will cover the whole neurosurgical spectrum. Invited speakers, most eminent neurosurgeons from both within Europe and throughout the world, will consider the benefits of tried and tested 'classical' neurosurgical techniques, comparing them with their cutting-edge alternatives, often minimally invasive techniques.
