Summer School

The ESO Stroke Summer School is a flagship event for ESO and a prestigious educational meeting for stroke trainees throughout Europe.

It is organised each year by a team of stroke physicians in a European city. During one week, stroke specialists from Europe provide their expert knowledge to young physicians with a major interest in cerebrovascular diseases.

The 25th ESO Stroke Summer School took place in Birmingham, England from 5-9 September 2022.
