The Swiss Federation of Clinical Neuro-Societies and Young Clinical Neuroscientists Network

The Swiss Federation of Clinical Neuro-Societies (SFCNS) was founded in 2009 and currently unites 14 clinical neuroscience associations. Its primary goals are the promotion of clinical, scientific, and educational interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as to establish a united voice towards other organisations, policy makers, and society. The SFCNS has received a mandate from the Swiss public health authorities to coordinate the implementation of highly specialised medicine in clinical neuroscience. Similar to the German Neurowoche, the SFCNS organises an interdisciplinary congress every 3 years (the next taking place in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Oct 23–25, 2019). This congress and our annual SFCNS Summer School promote education and discussion in clinical neuroscience. Last year, the SFCNS launched the journal Clinical and Translational Neuroscience, as successor of the Swiss Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry, founded by Constantin von Monakow about a century ago.
