Membership

Who can join Euro-CNS?

Membership of Euro-CNS is open to National Societies of Neuropathology in the European Community. If a European national or regional Society joins Euro-CNS, all its individual members will automatically become collective members of Euro-CNS.

National Societies of future member countries of the European Community are also welcome to participate in Euro-CNS as associated societies.

Membership is also possible for individuals outside Europe.  Please see the information below.
