About the Conference

This conference represents an international neurovascular educational program. It was initially named the
International Master Degree Course in Neurovascular Diseases (2000–2009) and was later renamed the

passing of Prof. Pierre Lasjaunias in 2008.

The program has continued successfully on an annual basis in various countries worldwide and is recognized as the
