The European Stroke Organisation (ESO) is a pan-European society of stroke researchers and physicians, national and regional stroke societies and lay organisations that was founded in December 2007.
The aim of the European Stroke Organisation (ESO) is to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke by changing the ways that stroke is viewed and treated. This can only be achieved by professional and public education, and by making institutional changes.
The ESO provides assistance in achieving this goal and in harmonising stroke management across the whole of Europe. To learn more about our organisation, please view the structure, history, mission and activities of ESO.

We are pleased to invite you to the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) 2026, which will take place in Maastricht, the Netherlands 6-8 May 2026. As Europe’s leading forum for stroke research and clinical care, ESOC continues to unite the global stroke community to share the latest scientific developments and innovations in the field.
At ESOC 2026, we look forward to presenting a comprehensive scientific programme that encompasses cutting-edge research, emerging therapies, and real-world implementation in stroke prevention, treatment, imaging, and recovery. The conference will serve as a critical platform for multidisciplinary exchange, scientific debate, and professional growth.
ESO is active in Twitter @ESOstroke and Facebook @EuropeanStrokeOrganisation, as well as LinkedIn. Please follow us and join in on the conversation.
We use #stroke, #ESOC2026 and #StrokeTwitter to ensure you can easily find our latest messages.
