Fees shown are for 2026 and are payable annually (1 January – 31 December).
EPNS members receive free access to the European Journal of Paediatric Neurology (EJPN). A printed copy is available as an additional add-on for 60 Euros across all categories.
The EPNS also has the following categories for colleagues who have an interest in paediatric neurology. These categories are not based on the World Bank classification — they are the same for all nations:
The correct schedule of fees for the EPNS Membership Category will be automatically applied and the fees that apply will be shown when EPNS members login to the EPNS website (click on the ‘make a payment’ tab).
How do I qualify for the Trainee/Resident and Student discounted membership fee rate?
To qualify for this discount, please send a supporting letter from your tutor confirming that you are a trainee/resident/medical student and the date your training is expected to be completed. The letter must be signed by your tutor and on headed paper. Your tutor must send a letter of support every 2 years thereafter until the expected completion date of your training has been reached. This will ensure you continue to qualify for the trainee/resident/medical student rate. Your supporting letter can be emailed to info@epns.info. If your trainee/resident/medical student letter has expired, you must email info@epns.info with an updated letter or confirm you are no longer a trainee/resident/medical student.
How do I qualify for the AHPN, NSCS and PhD discounted membership fee rate?
To qualify for this type of membership, the member must provide details of their role at the application stage before the discounted rate is approved.
Membership Types
Associate Membership
Awarded, on application, to all paediatric neurologists and colleagues in related fields that belong to their national society or association in their field, and to any physician, basic scientist or clinical scientist trainee/resident in paediatric neurology who shows an interest in the neurology of infancy, childhood or adolescence, whether in research or in clinical medical care. There are no geographical restrictions to associate membership. Associate members pay an annual subscription, which includes subscription to the European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, the Journal of the Society.
Ordinary Membership
For any associate member also in practice in Europe (currently taken as the region for which the European Office of WHO is responsible) as a fully qualified Medical Doctor/Physician in Paediatric Neurology with a main clinical and/or research activity in the field. Whereas associate membership requires only completion of the application form and fulfilment of the associate membership conditions, transition from associate to ordinary membership takes place by vote of the general assembly at the meeting of The Society, held at the EPNS congress every second year. The only difference between associate and ordinary membership is the entitlement of ordinary members to vote for and stand as candidates for election to the Board of The Society — an election that takes place immediately after an EPNS congress. Please note, Elsevier, the publishers of the Journal, have agreed electronic-only copies of the Journal, with printed copies available to members at a reduced price.
Honorary Membership
For persons who the society wishes to honour for outstanding distinction in the field of paediatric neurology.
