World Federation of Neurology - WFN

World Federation of Neurology - WFN The World Federation of Neurology was formed in Brussels in 1957, as an association of national neurological societies. Montreal is a wonderful destination.

Join us at in Seoul, 12-15 Octotber 2025. Dear Friends, Dear Colleagues,

The World Federation of Neurology’s XXVI World Congress of Neurology (WCN 2023) will be in Montreal, Canada, from 15 -19 October 2023. The congress will be proudly co-hosted by the Canadian Neurological Society (CNS), with over 2000 neurologist members. We hope that this event will bring us back to our regular congress routine and that we will be able to see each other in person, rekindle friendships and collaborations, and establish new ones. This WCN will bring us up to date in the broad field of neurology, from tropical neurology to molecular genetics. The Scientific Program and Teaching Programs are at the core of the World Congress of Neurology. These are complemented by plenary lectures from leading experts in their fields, the exciting and entertaining Tournament of the Minds, cutting edge scientific sessions relevant to all the corners of the globe, and poster sessions that will feature the research of young neurologists of the future. In addition to learning and science, the WCN offers an excellent opportunity for communication and exchange. After over two years of pandemic restrictions, we will be able to see and learn from each other! The WCN rotates between six different regions of the world, all with different health systems, different backgrounds, different neurological challenges, and different needs. This congress will be a valuable forum for exchange of clinical experience, of personal trajectories, of science and to mentor and nurture the next generation. The WFN will provide congress bursaries for young neurologists to attend WCN in person from low/low-middle income countries. A safe and relatively inexpensive city with much to offer. Montreal also has a rich history of neurology, with giants such as Dr Wilder Penfield, Dr Brenda Milner, and many others. The Montreal Neurological Institute will be open to those interested in the history of neurology. Montreal is a multicultural city that has at its core French culture, with all the different aspects of French culture, particularly a keen interest in food. For the WFN and its Member Societies, this biennial meeting is an opportunity to highlight the global reality of our neurological world. We hope you will be able to join us for what will be an exceptional meeting! Wolfgang Grisold
President, World Federation of Neurology

Someone develops dementia every 3 seconds.

Over a quarter of people globally wrongly believe there is nothing we can do to prevent dementia, with that number reaching 37% in lower- and middle-income countries.

Robust, post-diagnosis support models can enable governments and healthcare systems to better support people living with dementia and can be cost-saving, delaying or reducing hospital and care admissions and enabling people and carers to stay in work, careers and education for longer.

World Federation of Neurology - WFN joins Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI), a member of the Global Neurology Alliance, in raising awareness of Alzheimer and dementia.

There are over 55 million people around the world living with dementia. This is predicted to rise sharply to 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050.
Dementia will be the 3rd leading cause of death globally by 2040.
In many parts of the world, access to receiving a diagnosis, as well as support following a diagnosis, is either insufficient, difficult to access, or not available at all. Governments have an opportunity and a responsibility to dramatically increase awareness, detection and diagnosis of dementia, by meeting targets of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan on dementia.

Spotlight at WCN 2025!

From her first fascination with the brain to becoming a world leader in stroke research, Prof. Charlotte Cordonnier has focused her career on improving care for patients too often overlooked: those with intracerebral hemorrhage.

This October in Seoul, she will take the stage at the 27th World Congress of Neurology to deliver the Ali Award Lecture When Stroke Strikes β€” exploring how far stroke medicine has advanced and why the next chapter must focus on intracerebral hemorrhage.
