The EPNS has been organising training courses in paediatric neurology since 2003 specifically aiming at trainees/residents but also at qualified paediatric neurologists who want to refresh their knowledge on certain topics. The aim is to cover most main topics in the syllabus over a three-year cycle and to promote contact between individuals in the speciality in different parts of Europe. The course has a highly interactive character and participants are encouraged to bring cases to discuss. The number of participants is limited and applicants who wish to attend both courses will be given priority over those who wish to attend one of the two courses.

The cycle of training courses for the period 2024-2026 took place in Ferrara, the splendid city of art, the magnificent Renaissance capital and a UNESCO World Heritage location.

With almost 100 participants from 35 different countries, it was a real pleasure to bring together clinicians and experts for four days of high-quality teaching, thought-provoking discussions, and shared learning in the rapidly evolving fields of neonatal neurology and genetics in paediatric neurology.
We are very grateful to all faculty, participants, and organisers for their active engagement and for contributing to such interactive and inspiring course atmosphere.
Ferrara once again provided a wonderful setting for collaboration, exchange of ideas, and building new professional connections.
We now look ahead to the next EPNS Training Course in the 3 year series, taking place in Thessaloniki in 2027, 2028 and 2029.
