IBE - International Epilepsy Support

Elvira Vacas Montero Vice President IBE Europe

Dear friends,

We are incredibly excited about the upcoming IBE Europe Chapters Convention, taking place on September 12th and 13th in the beautiful city of Rome.

This gathering holds immense importance as a chance for representatives from across Europe to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of our region. Your participation and enthusiasm are crucial for making this a success, and we know the knowledge-sharing and networking will help build a stronger, more united Europe ready to face global challenges.

Over these two days, we’ll dive deep into three key areas: projects and programs, policy and advocacy, and research and innovation. Chapters will have the opportunity to share best practices and learn from one another, while also enjoying dedicated spaces for exchanging ideas and networking. And of course, we haven’t forgotten the social side – there will be plenty of time to relax and connect informally.

The IBE European Region aims to use this opportunity to co-create a strategic roadmap addressing our chapters’ concerns and priorities at the European level, while also empowering chapters to advance these efforts nationally.

In closing, I would like to convey the excitement with which we are approaching the Chapter Convention and emphasize how essential your participation is.

In the small differences that separate us, lies the great strength of our region.

See you in Rome!

A presto

Elvira
