Celebrating 20 years of scientific exchange
Educational Grants 2026
In 2026, we proudly celebrate the 20th Anniversary of our Congress – two decades of advancing science, fostering collaboration, and connecting experts in neurology, neuroscience, and pain medicine from around the world.
To mark this special milestone, we are especially committed to supporting the next generation of clinicians and researchers. Our Educational Grants aim to enable talented early-career professionals to join us in Berlin, present their research, exchange ideas with leading experts, and become part of our growing international community.
We believe that scientific progress thrives on diversity, fresh perspectives, and global participation. If you are passionate about advancing knowledge in headache and pain medicine, this is your opportunity to take part in an inspiring anniversary congress and shape the future of the field.
