9th ESO–ESMINT–ESNR Stroke Winter School
1st–4th February 2022
Acute interdisciplinary stroke treatment course for young
stroke physicians and neuroradiologists
Goals
The primary goal of the ESO–ESMINT–ESNRwinter
school on acute interdisciplinary stroke
treatment is to join young stroke physicians and
young neuroradiologists in order to enhance
interdisciplinary management of patients with
acute ischaemic stroke. A series of concentrated
high quality teaching sessions and courses on
acute stroke management will be offered.
Secondary goals of the winter school are to
perform «hands-on» courses for interventional
neuroradiologists and special teaching sessions
for stroke physicians.
The winter school is unique in its kind. Combining
plenum sessions, discussions and technical
training, it will foster improvement in treatment
of cerebrovascular disease and advance research
in this complex field, leading to technical
developments.
Target audience
Young stroke physicians and neuroradiologists
with a major interest in cerebrovascular diseases
are eligible. Applicants should currently be in training
in a European teaching hospital that treats
acute stroke patients. The organizing committee
will select 25 interventional neuroradiologists
and 25 young stroke physicians based on their
• application
• country of origin
• the expected benefit to the individual and
to his/her stroke unit and country
Since the main aim of the course is to enhance
interdisciplinary stroke management, pairs of
neuroradiologists and stroke physicians from
one institution will be preferred. If there are
available places, applications from non- European
countries and single applicants may be considered
by the organizers. The final decision about
the participants remains with the local organisation
committee.
Scientific content
A daily teaching program in English by experts
in all subspecialties of acute stroke treatment will
be held. There will be joint sessions for neuroradiologists
and stroke physicians in the morning.
In the afternoon there will be special courses for
stroke physicians and «hands-on» courses for
interventional neuroradiologists. Teachers will be
local, national and international experts in this or
related fields.
Tentative core faculty
The local organizing committee will form a tentative
core faculty with representatives of all three
participating organizations, i.e. European Stroke
Organization (ESO), European Society of Minimal
Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT), and
European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR).
