The objectives of SENP+

senp+

Promoting the study and treatment of nervous system pathologies in children

Every year, the SENP+ organizes meetings reserved for members of the association and a few invited guests – mostly future candidate-members. At these meetings, participants discuss a series of predefined topics in collaboration with experts (members and non-members of the Society). The first closed meeting took place in Paris in 1971, and the last in Bologna (2001). Every 4 years, the SENP+ organizes an open congress. The first was held in Marseille (1977) and the last in Brussels (2006). Since then, this notion of open or closed congresses has been abolished, and each congress welcomes SENP+ members and any physician wishing to attend.

Ensuring the dissemination of knowledge in pediatric neurology

To reinforce this teaching activity, the SENP+ Board under the presidency of Dr. Campistol (2000-2002) initiated an annual teaching day. This day, open to all pediatricians, neuropediatricians and neurologists, takes place on the eve of SENP+ meetings. The first training course was held in Liège in November 2000.

SENP+ an active company

Since its creation, the SENP+ has played an active role in the development of pediatric neurology. All SENP+ members have been pioneers in the creation of pediatric neurology societies in their countries. The SENP+ is committed to providing warm, human-scale meetings that encourage exchanges between professionals and the development of caring collaborations for the benefit of young neuropediatricians in training. The annual meeting of SENP+ members provides an opportunity for in-depth study of topical issues. Non-members are welcome to attend these meetings and present their work.
