In line with IBE’s own mission, EFNA aims to encourage the implementation of the necessary resource priorities in order to reduce stigma and improve the quality of lives of people with a neurological disorder.

Whilst remaining independent, EFNA also co-operates with the EAN and other agencies working in the field.

Members of EFNA include European Multiple Sclerosis Platform, European Headache Alliance, Motor Neurone Disease Association, and Stroke Alliance Europe, as well as associations representing rare neurological disorders including International Huntington Association, Dystonia Europe, euro-ATAXIA and European Alliance for Restless Legs Syndrome.
