Parallel sessions contain one invited lecture each and will be filled with suitable abstracts. Final programme allocation therefore will only be done once the submitted and accepted abstracts will be allocated.

Awards
During the Congress three prizes will be awarded: Outstanding abstract, Best ePoster, Best Oral presentation.
In order to apply for the Outstanding abstract award, you need to be an EPNS trainee member with paid current year EPNS subscription fee, the abstract must report original research not previously published and you need to tick the box in the abstract submission tool. The Awards will be presented during the congress. The three winners will receive a free registration for the 17th EPNS Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
ePoster Exhibition
At our ePoster exhibition, you will have the chance to discuss the presented findings with the abstract authors. In parallel, the best posters will be presented in 3-minute contributions at the ePoster exhibition each day from 12:20 – 12:55 CET and there will be a floor for an open discussion.
Date: 09 – 11 July 2025, 08:00 – 18:00 CET
Location: ICM – Saal 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b and the foyer on the first floor

Learning Objectives
EPNS’ core educational goal and purpose are that the significant burden of neurological diseases in childhood is addressed through research and education as these disorders have a lifelong impact on the individual, their careers and society as a whole.
Learning objectives include, amongst others:
- Acquire knowledge about artificial intelligence in paediatric neurology as well as neurogenetics, -imaging and -modulation
- Improve knowledge of paediatric stroke, traumatic brain injury, migraine and paediatric neurocritical care
- Better understanding of neurodevelopment and neurorehabilitation
- Improve knowledge of the structure of care for children with complex neurological problems
Expected educational outcome(s)
The EPNS Congress provides an opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the rapidly evolving field of child neurology, including basic science, diagnostic methods, and novel treatments.
Attendees will meet and communicate with colleagues, focused on delivering the best possible care for children with neurological disorders.
Attendees will collect the latest updates on developing technologies, clinical applications and practical solutions, swap ideas, share problems and discover solutions with international peers on state-of-the-art treatment options and evidence-based medicine during the plenary and parallel sessions (lectures) and teaching sessions (more practical).
The changing nature of paediatric neurology in the gene therapy era means child neurologists will be the clinicians who advise on and monitor these life-transforming therapies. Paediatric Neurology will evolve significantly as a discipline over the next decade and a goal of the EPNS Congress is to prepare delegates to classify the opportunities and challenges that come with this development.
The congress provides a platform to create a network, collect innovative ideas and suggestions for improvements.
