🧠 Giovanni Raffa, Board Member: CME & Guidelines, highlights the value of the EANS Individual Membership and what it means to be part of a dynamic, international network of neurosurgeons and trainees.

From our daily lives as neurosurgeons, we come to realise that some of the most important conversations often happen outside the operating room: in between cases, after long days, when they matter most!

These are crucial moments:
• A question before a difficult case
• A message after an unexpected outcome
… or a discussion with your peers that might actually change your plan!

EANS connects you to these moments across countries and institutions.

Because no neurosurgeon should have to rely solely on their own environment!

🚨 EANS Spinal Neurosurgery Section – Updates

The EANS Spinal Neurosurgery Section, led by Prof. Enrico Tessitore (Chair), continues to advance spinal neurosurgery through education, research, and collaboration.

The section is expanding its webinar programme on major spine topics and strengthening its collaboration with EUROSPINE.

Multicentre research projects are ongoing, alongside developments in observerships, mentorship programmes, and criteria for accredited spine centres.

Advanced spine courses are also being refined with a more case-based approach, with upcoming sessions planned across Europe.
