The latest issue of World Neurology shares a comprehensive update from outgoing WFN President Prof. Wolfgang Grisold, reflecting on achievements and transitions across the organisation. At October's World Congress of Neurology (WCN) in Seoul, key leadership elections took place. Prof. Steven Lewis was elected incoming WFN President, Prof. Riadh Gouider was named Vice President, and Dr. Chandrashekhar Meshram was re-elected Trustee. Delegates also selected Copenhagen as the host city for WCN 2028.

Prof. Grisold highlights WFN's progress in education, advocacy, and innovation — from embracing AI in training to expanding leadership programs and strengthening ties with the WHO and the UN. Looking ahead, upcoming WFN events include WNU 2026, WCN 2027 in Cape Town, and WCN 2028 in Copenhagen. He also emphasises the need for structural changes in future congresses to reflect financial realities and evolving global priorities, while reaffirming WFN's commitment to equitable representation and global neurological education.
