Neuroepidemiology: A Brighter Look for the Future

professional experience between IANE members. Using a range of activities and through its affiliates, IANE also aims to guarantee and provide the same standard of education and neuroepidemiological information across all countries throughout the world. Recognizing the issues arising from the increased longevity and changing epidemiology of neurological disorders in the 21st century, IANE will also provide up-todate information and web resources in the field of neuroepidemiology. IANE offers its members a number of benefits, including online subscription to the KARGER journal Neuroepidemiology, monthly alerts on the content of the Neuroepidemiology journal and reduced registration fee for ICNE congresses. For national neurological or neuroepidemiological group/association affiliated with IANE, IANE offers organising their annual meetings under the auspices of IANE/ICNE. IANE may assist national societies in planning and organising such meetings and providing information on planned International activities in neuroepidemiology. The IANE individual membership is open for all interested health professionals and students for just EUR 55 per year. Affiliated membership for groups and associations will be considered by the Executive Committee of the IANE upon receipt of the expression of interest from the group/association concerned (please see IANE website for details). We believe this is a very exiting time for all neuroepidemiologists and health professionals dealing with neurological disorders. For the first time we have not only the highly reputable international journal of Neuroepidemiology but also the International Association of Neurology and Epidemiology for all specialists interested in sharing the knowledge of descriptive, analytical and experimental epidemiological studies of neurologic disease, as well as in the development and implementation of evidence-based recommendations for prevention and management of neurological disorders. It is our hope that with these concerted and coherent actions and implementations of evidence-based recommendations into practice, we would be able to reduce the ever-increasing burden of neurological disorders in the world.
