Dear Visitors of the WFN Website,
Dear Member Societies,
I welcome you to the WFN website. I hope you find it informative and useful, not only for learning about the activities of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), but also for staying updated on broader neurological developments. For the latest news and insights, I encourage you to explore our World Neurology newsletter and the Journal of the Neurological Sciences (JNS) service pages.
World Brain Day 2025: “Brain Health for All Ages”
This year’s World Brain Day (WBD) will be held on July 22 and we turn our attention to "brain health for all ages", emphasising that brain health is essential at every stage of life as well as reflecting regional differences and the unique challenges faced by various age groups worldwide.
We are pleased that this year’s WBD aligns closely with initiatives by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is also supported by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC). Their endorsement underscores the growing recognition of brain health as a global health priority.
XXVII World Congress of Neurology - Seoul 2025
We are eagerly anticipating the XXVII World Congress of Neurology (WCN) in Seoul, South Korea, and are pleased to report that over 2,100 abstracts have already been submitted—an encouraging sign of the global enthusiasm for this congress. We also look forward to additional submissions during the late-breaking abstract period.
Recognizing that not all colleagues can attend in person, WCN 2025 will include a hybrid component, especially designed to support participation from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) with reduced registration fees. Visa access to Seoul appears favorable for most participants.
At the recent AAN meeting in San Diego, the WFN hosted a raffle for free WCN 2025 registration. We will host a similar raffle at the EAN Congress in Helsinki this year. Be sure to visit our booth for your chance to participate!
