Background and purpose The main objective of the E uropean A ssociation of Y oung N eurologists and Trainees ( EAYNT ), an independent B russels‐based association of junior neurologists, is to represent and promote the interests of E uropean junior neurologists. Methods and results A wide variety of projects and activities are ongoing, carried out by members of the organization in close collaboration with major E uropean and N ational N eurology bodies. Most recently, we surveyed E uropean junior neurologists about their views on the E uropean B oard of N eurology E xamination, the status of e‐learning in postgraduate neurology training and migration patterns of young n eurologists. Conclusions The aim of this paper is to outline the current and future activities of the EAYNT . We run a series of lectures (‘ EAYNT special sessions’) at the major E uropean conferences and disseminate information to young neurologists at the EAYNT booth. We provide information about travel grants, fellowships as well as sharing personal experiences of working abroad. EAYNT members have the opportunity to sit on the scientific subcommittees of the European Federation of Neurological Societies ( EFNS ) and European Neurological Society ( ENS ), to chair poster sessions and review abstracts. Furthermore, we continue to provide a forum for young neurologists from all over E urope to network and socialize by means of get‐together events and hospital visits.
