Dear Visitors of the WFN Website,
Dear Member Societies,
Welcome to the WFN website, our resource for sharing information about the structure, activities, and initiatives of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN). Further details and updates can be found in our newsletter World Neurology, as well as in our Service Pages published in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences. In addition, WFN news is regularly shared on social media to keep the public and the neurology community informed of our latest developments.
The most significant and current WFN news concerns the results of the elections held during the Council of Delegates meeting at the World Congress of Neurology (WCN) in Seoul in October 2025. Professor Steven Lewis (USA) was elected as the new WFN President, transitioning from his current role as Secretary General. Professor Lewis brings a wealth of experience and a strong record of service to the WFN leadership. Professor Riadh Gouider (Tunisia) was elected as First Vice President, bringing with him a long and distinguished history with the WFN. Professor Gouider has served two terms as an elected Trustee and also acted as a co-opted Trustee representing the Arab and African regions.
Both Professors Lewis and Gouider will assume office on January 1, 2026, succeeding Professor Wolfgang Grisold, current WFN President, and Professor Guy Rouleau, current First Vice President, who will both be stepping down from the WFN Board. Professor Chandekar Meshram was re-elected and will continue for a second term as an elected Trustee. All those elected are well-versed in WFN governance and have extensive experience with its protocols and activities.
We extend our sincere thanks to Professors Imen Kacem (Tunisia) and Briseida Feliciano (Puerto Rico), whose terms as co-opted Trustees concluded at the Council of Delegates meeting, for their enormous contributions to the WFN mission and their dedicated representation of their respective regions.
