On behalf of the Programme Committee, we are glad to announce that the annual Tournament for Neurologists in Training has been reformatted for the EAN Congress 2022 in Vienna!

The EAN Tournament session will also be broadcasted live on the EAN TV! 

Presentation

Different from the traditional EAN Tournaments for Neurologists in Training, the top speakers in the new EAN Tournament Finals share their studies without the security of a fancy presentation or a lectern – only a spotlight and a microphone at the center stage! The finalists are given strictly 6 minutes on the stage. Three minutes for to share their study and circa three minutes to answer questions from the session chairs or from the audience.

Jury

A panel of experts will score all presenters on the scientific interest of the presentation, relevance of reported data, methodology used, statistical analysis, quality of results, presentation skills, quality of presentaion, logical build-up of presentation and ability to adequately answer questions. Winners and runners-up will be announced at the end of the session.

Financial support

Candidates selected for the tournament have received a bursary consisting of free registration to the Congress, up to four nights hotel accommodation, and a travel grant.
