Belgrade to host global neurosurgical conference in 2020

Belgrade will host the anniversary congress of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) in 2020, and the organization of this globally important scientific gathering has been put in charge of the Serbian Neurosurgical Society.

Serbia Convention Bureau, a department of the Tourism Organization of Serbia, and the Serbian Neurosurgical Society prepared and followed through with the whole process from the candidacy to the final decision, with support by state institutions.

As said by the TOS, the candidacy of the Serbian Neurosurgical Society for the 2020 EANS congress, called “Trends, Insights and Innovations: Neurosurgery Beside Technology” won by a landslide in the stiff competition with Hamburg, Rotterdam and Jerusalem at the EANS meeting on October 3, 2017. Representatives of all national neurosurgical associations in Europe and forty individual members, eminent neurosurgeons from all over the globe, voted for Belgrade.

– We have never had such a landslide victory when it comes to voting for the organization of the EANS congress. Belgrade's victory is more than deserved and is built on years of activities and achievements of the Serbian Neurosurgical Society in the international neurosurgical society – said Dr Andre Grotenhuis, president of the EANS.

– Belgrade's success is significant for the whole region, and the intensive cooperation realized through the Southeast Europe Neurosurgical Society has contributed to it considerably. We will do our best to organize the 2020 EANS congress as well as possible, continuing to affirm Serbian neurosurgery in the international scene – said Dr Lukas Rasulic, president of the Serbian Neurosurgical Society and the Southeast Europe Neurosurgical Society.
