Young stroke physicians and neuroradiologists with a major interest in cerebrovascular diseases are eligible. Applicants should currently be in training in a European teaching hospital that treats acute stroke patients. The organizing committee will select up to 40 interventional neuroradiologists and up to 40 young stroke physicians based on:

• their application
• country of origin
• the expected benefit to the individual and to his/her stroke unit and country

Since the main aim of the course is to enhance interdisciplinary stroke management, pairs of neuroradiologists and stroke physicians from one institution will be preferred. If there are available places, applications from non-European countries may be considered by the organizers. The final decision about the participants remains with the local organisation committee.
