MDS-ES Chair

Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure, as MDS-European Section Chair, to welcome you to the MDS-European Section. MDS-ES is the premier European organization dedicated to disseminating knowledge and understanding about Movement Disorders within the field of Neurology.

During my term we will continue offerings a robust variety of educational activities for neurologists and movement disorder specialists. In addition we aim to establish a network of allied health experts from the different countries in Europe to harmonize quality education across regions and languages.

A key way to achieve this goal will be to strengthen our identity in Europe and increase Membership by better and more focused collaboration with our colleagues from national Movement Disorders Societies through the Affiliate Membership opportunities. We also aim to continue our collaborative relationships with the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), to facilitate communication and teaching about Movement Disorders to trainees and to the general neurological community.

The first opportunity to meet you will be at the 2020 ES Summit: Therapeutic Milestones in Parkinson’s Disease in Venice, March 18-20, 2020, and later at the 2020 MDS International Congress in Philadelphia, PA, USA, September 13-17.

Thank you for your continued interest and engagement in MDS-ES activities.

With very best regards,

Angelo Antonini
