3rd ACNS-EANS World Congress of Young Neurosurgeons

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The Young Neurosurgeons (YNS) committees of the EANS and ACNS are excited to announce the 3rd ACNS-EANS World Congress of Young Neurosurgeons that will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria, on 12th-14th October 2024, partially overlapped with the 2024 EANS Annual Congress.

The 3rd World YNS Congress will be jointly organised by the YNS Committees of the EANS and ACNS, but representatives from all Continental Societies are welcomed and invited to the Congress to meet each other. To allow for greater participation, special registration fees will be available for young neurosurgeons coming from LMIC.

The aim of the congress is to promote a new global event for education and training of young neurosurgeons. By bringing people from different continents, we aim to create a global workforce to help young neurosurgeons across the globe updating their knowledge on modern and cutting-edge techniques and strategies in neurosurgery.

This year, the World YNS Congress has reached its 3rd Edition and, for the first time, will take place in Europe. The organisation of the event partially overlapping the Annual EANS Congress, will give the opportunity to young neurosurgeons attending the World YNS Congress to attend also the most important event organised annually by the EANS.

The topics of the 3rd World YNS Congress will cover almost all fields of neurosurgery. The programme will include hands-on workshops, expert sessions, research series and most importantly the YNS competition. The abstracts’ submission is open: oral and poster presentations focused on all neurosurgical topics are welcome and the best ones will receive special Awards.

We will sincerely appreciate your participation and we’re looking forward to seeing you in Sofia!
