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.
