The ESSW first convened in 2011 and has become a cornerstone of ESO’s academic activities and a major highlight for researchers from across the globe. Participants and faculty represent stroke researchers at different career stages with diverse backgrounds and specialties. The ESSW is comprised of plenary lectures, debates, discussions, and a focus on mid-career researchers, balanced with opportunities to build personal connections. Since 2023, the ESSW has a focus on mid-career researchers, with a dedicated poster session and other activitities to stimulate collaborations and careers in stroke research.
