Due to the cancellation of all events in our hospital until the end of March, we have had to change the venue of our teaching and conference course to the Palais des Congrès de Beaulieu Lausanne (Avenue des Bergières 10, CH-1004 Lausanne).
We look forward to welcoming you to our face-to-face meeting in Lausanne next month!
Note: The Congress Centre is easily accessible by bus from the station (Bus 21, 10 min) or from the city centre (Bus 87, 8min, Riponne- Maurice Bejart). Pay parking available on site.

Dear colleagues and friends
Third time’s a charm, third time’s a charm: who would have thought that these two sayings would one day apply to our Congress of the European Society of Paediatric Neurology! Our new President, the Board and the Local Committee will be all the more delighted to welcome you to Lausanne this spring, given the long wait since 2020.
Our meeting venue has also changed for the third time: we will be hosted at the Beaulieu Convention Centre, where we can forget about viruses and the constraints of our hospitals. Let’s hope that the weather will allow us to see the snow-covered Alps through the windows and even go out into the park.
Fortunately, the subjects we had chosen are timeless, and our guest speakers all agreed to continue their participation. Thanks to them, the original programme has remained unchanged. We will therefore begin our meeting on Thursday 17 March with the course for paediatricians, followed by the two main themes: Friday will be devoted to ‘Children’s language in exceptional circumstances’. Our speakers will discuss the development and organisation of language in cases of acquired brain damage, malformations, developmental disorders of genetic origin and certain forms of epilepsy. On Saturday, we’ll be looking at ‘paroxysmal episodes in small children’, including newborns: there’s always something new in this field, where the benign and the fearsome exist side by side, and where diagnosis and treatment often remain a challenge, even with technological aids. General paediatric neurology will also be on the agenda, with free papers and posters.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers and sponsors for sticking with us through thick and thin, as well as to those who will be presenting their work, and to all the participants: thanks to you all, the meeting will be fascinating, and we will be leaving with new knowledge, new ideas and enriched by our ‘live’ exchanges.
We hope you’ll also find some time for a stroll around town or by the lake, where the visit to the Olympic Museum and the Society dinner on Friday 18 will take place.
Enjoy the congress in Lausanne!
