The symposium has been supported by the Lundbeck Foundation.

The EMEAC-IFCN has launched a monthly webinar series to provide IFCN member societies with high-quality, complimentary online educational content. Scientific and clinically oriented lectures will be delivered by leading clinical neurophysiologists from around the world. Each session will also include time for discussion with the lecturer following the presentation.

Following the great success of our first two webinars presented by Prof. Riki Matsumoto (Kyoto, Japan), and Prof. Ulf Ziemann (Tübingen, Germany), we are delighted to announce our third webinar.

Prof. Emeritus Erik Stålberg will present “Repetitive Nerve Stimulation: Practical Aspects”

Prof. Hacer Erdem Tilki, Turkey will moderate the session.

The webinar will take place on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 4:30 PM CET.

Repetitive Nerve Stimulation: Practical Aspects

This webinar will focus on the practical aspects of Repetitive Nerve Stimulation (RNS), with emphasis on the challenges encountered during routine testing. Prof. Erik Stålberg will discuss why RNS is not always a straightforward technique, including fluctuations and variability between responses. Practical approaches to handling the initial increment, interpreting response changes, and managing technical and physiological factors affecting the results will also be explained.

Atelier de lucru teoretic-aplicativ, cu demonstrații live și exerciții practice hands-on în grupe mici.

Coordonator: Prof. Dr. Daniela Fodor.

Organizatori: EDUSON, ARSUS, ASNE
Data: 27–28 noiembrie 2026
Locația: Hotel Marriott Cluj-Napoca + ONLINE (Evenimentul se transmite doar live)

Workshopul hibrid este gândit pentru participanți cu experiență limitată sau absentă în ecografia nervilor periferici — o introducere scurtă în noțiunile tehnice esențiale, urmată de accent puternic pe partea practică hands-on, organizată pe grupe mici, sub îndrumarea directă a lectorilor (6 participanți/tutore/aparat).

La finalul celor două zile, participanții vor putea identifica ecografic principalii nervi ai membrului superior și inferior, vor recunoaște aspectul normal și principalele modificări patologice, și vor ști să integreze rezultatul ecografic în relație cu examenul clinic și ENMG.

Intraoperative Neurophysiology – A State-of-the-Art Approach
Sibiu, Romania | June 4–7, 2026

The international course “Intraoperative Neurophysiology – A State-of-the-Art Approach” was held in Sibiu, Romania, from June 4–7, 2026. The course was directed by Professor Mirela Simon (Boston, USA) and organized in collaboration with the Romanian Society of Electrodiagnostic Neurophysiology (ASNER) and MedLife Polisano Hospital.

The meeting welcomed 120 participants from 16 countries and featured an outstanding international faculty of 30 renowned experts from Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. The scientific program included 40 plenary lectures, 15 interactive workshops and discussion groups, and 24 case-based presentations, creating a highly engaging educational experience.

Designed as a comprehensive multidisciplinary course, the program covered the full spectrum of contemporary intraoperative neurophysiology, from fundamental principles to state-of-the art neuromonitoring techniques and evidence-informed clinical practice. Scientific sessions addressed intraoperative neuromonitoring in spinal, brain, carotid, aortic, peripheral nerve, pelvic, thyroid, and parathyroid surgery, as well as the essential role of anesthetic management in optimizing neurophysiological monitoring and improving patient safety.

Beyond its scientific excellence, the course provided an outstanding opportunity for participants to exchange clinical experience, discuss challenging cases, establish new professional collaborations, and strengthen international friendships. It also represented an important milestone in promoting education and the development of intraoperative neurophysiology in Romania while reinforcing collaboration within the global neurophysiology community.

The organizers sincerely thank all faculty members, participants, and partners whose enthusiasm and dedication contributed to the success of this memorable event.
