1994

1994    Founding of EANO in Maastricht

EANO was established by formal constitution in Brussels in 1994 by a group of European neuro-oncologists who saw the need to have an official group to promote the role of, and to professionalise, neuro-oncology in Europe.

The idea to form EANO was first proposed in 1990 by G. Hildebrand, L. Salford, P. Krauseneck, J. Darling, B. Müller and A. Twijnstra. In 1992 Peter Krauseneck invited neurooncologists from all over Europe to Pommersfelden (Germany) to prepare the foundations of EANO through the nomination of an Ad Hoc Steering Board. In 1993 G. Hildebrand (Chairman of the Ad Hoc Steering Board) officialised EANO at Brussels with a preliminary bylaw. The first EANO Meeting (organised by A. Twijnstra) was held in Maastricht in 1994, during which 180 of the participants established the Association by formal election. 

Over the following decades, EANO evolved into an internationally leading, vibrant, interdisciplinary and multiprofessional society representing the many faces of European Neuro-Oncology with a multitude of activities and projects aiming at advancing education, research and care for patients affected by tumors of the nervous system.

1994

Founding Scientific Committee

The Scientific Committee of EANO has been a core component of the association since its establishment. This committee is responsible for overseeing the scientific direction and ensuring the quality of the educational and research activities conducted by EANO. The EANO Scientific Committee has several specific tasks. These include the organization of the scientific programmes for the EANO's annual meetings, the evaluation and selection of abstracts for presentations, as well as the support and promotion of research initiatives within neuro-oncology. The committee also ensures that high scientific standards are maintained in all EANO activities.

1995

Founding of SNO

The Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) was founded in 1995 by Dr. Victor Levin at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. SNO aims to improve patient care through scientific exchange and the promotion of cutting-edge research. Both EANO and SNO collaborate closely to organize international conferences, publish scientific journals, and set clinical guidelines to enhance the quality of neuro-oncology care worldwide​.

In 2023 EANO enjoyed a fantastic SNO 2023 in Vancouver. After the successful first webinar together with SNO in 2023, there was another joint webinar in 2024, this time on the topic: the scientific highlights of the SNO and EANO conferences from September/November last year.

2002

1st World Conference of Neuro-Oncology Societies

The first World Conference of Neuro-Oncology Societies was held in 2002 in Washington DC. It marked an important event in the field of neuro-oncology, facilitating collaboration among global experts. This conference was a precursor to the establishment of the World Federation of Neuro-Oncology Societies (WFNOS) in 2012.

EANO is involved in the organisation of the World Conference of Neuro-Oncology Societies, which have been held also in Edinburgh in 2005, Yokohama in 2009, San Francisco 2013, Zurich in 2017, Seoul and Korea in 2022. The next WFNOS Conference will be 2025 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Some impressions of WFNOS 2017 in Zurich

2002

Founding of ASNO

The first meeting of ASNO was held on November 17-19, 2002, in Kumamoto, Japan, chaired by Dr. Yukitaka Ushio. This foundation was motivated by the need to strengthen the representation of Asian countries within the global neuro-oncology community and to support the newly formed World Federation of Neuro-Oncology Societies (WFNOS), allowing Asian countries to participate as a unified bloc rather than as individual entities.

2005

Founding of “The IBTA”

The International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA) was established in May 2005, the outcome of a multi-stakeholder meeting and agreement at the World Federation of Neuro Oncology conference held in Edinburgh, UK. Today, the IBTA reaches out to people in 109 countries whose lives have been touched by a brain tumor. The mission is to advocate for the best treatments, information, support and quality of life for brain tumour patients, offering them, their families and carers hope – wherever they live in the world.

Since 2008, The IBTA has been represented at almost every EANO conference, enriching the work of EANO as an important part of our network, at EANO in Maastricht in 2010, at EANO in Marseille in 2012, at EANO in Turin in 2014 (in the attached photo I can be seen with other Italian brain tumour patient representatives), in Mannheim-Heidelberg in 2016 and exhibiting at EANO almost every year thereafter.

 

2009

First joint EORTC-EANO conference

The European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) began its collaboration with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) in 2009. This partnership aimed to foster advancements in the field of neuro-oncology through combined efforts in research, education, and clinical practice. The first joint EORTC-EANO conference was held in 2009 in Hungary, which set the stage for future collaborative conferences aimed at promoting scientific exchange and improving the management of central nervous system malignancies.

 

2010

1st EANO Educational Day

After the meeting in Barcelona in 2008, the EANO Board decided on a new format of the “Post Graduate Day” in order to give more attention to Basic Science by involving the Local Organising Committee into the organisation of the now called “Educational Day”. The format was change from a half-day pre-course meeting to a full day also including with a Nurses Session for the first time. This new format was implemented for the first time at the 9th Meeting of EANO in 2010 held in Maastricht, The Netherlands. The Educational Day exists till this day and is now organized in collaboration with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Brain Tumor Group.

2012

Establishing Youngsters Committee

The Youngsters Committee of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) was established in 2012 and formalised in 2018. This committee aims to provide a platform for networking, interaction, and collaboration among young scientists and clinicians with a special interest in neuro-oncology. It organizes various activities, including educational programmes and mentoring sessions, to enhance the involvement of young members within the EANO.

EANO recognizes that the future of the society lies with the next generation. Therefore, EANO is focusing on the provision of career opportunities, training, and mentoring of young society members. Together with the Youngsters Committee, the EANO leadership has developed initiatives such as Youngsters Journal Club, networking events, mentorship programmes, dedicated sessions and workshops at the annual conference. In recent years, EANO has succeeded in building an active and vibrant community of early-career investigators from various specialties and professions.

2014

 1st Guideline of EANO

In 2014, the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) released its first comprehensive guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of anaplastic gliomas and glioblastoma. This guideline was developed to standardise the clinical management of these aggressive brain tumors across Europe, incorporating the latest research and clinical practices.

2015

1st EANO Winter School

The first Winter School of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) took place in January 2015 in the municipality of St. Christoph am Arlberg, Austria. It is organized in collaboration between the Educational and Youngsters Committee.

This event provided a unique opportunity for young neuro-oncologists to further their education in an intensive and interactive learning environment. The Winter School included a variety of activities, such as lectures, case discussions, and interactive workshops led by leading experts in the field of neuro-oncology. The aim was to equip participants with up-to-date knowledge and practical skills that they could apply in their clinical practice.

Additionally, the Winter School served as a platform for networking and the exchange of experiences and ideas among participants, promoting collaborations and strengthening the neuro-oncology community.

2016

Networking with EORTC and EANS

The annual conference “Research into Brain Metastases and new Therapies” was held for the first time under the auspices of EORTC, EANO and EANS. Also the French Neuro-Oncology Group (ANOCEF) and the French Society of Neuro-Surgery are partners of this event.  For this sixth edition, a special session was dedicated to Brain Metastases management guidelines reported by the EANO Brain Metastases task force. The 12th edition is now called “Brain Metastases Research and Emerging Therapy Conference” and will take place from 9-11 October 2024 in Paris.

2017

Founding of SNOSSA

The Sub-Saharan Africa Neuro-Oncology Collaborative (SNOSSA) was founded in 2017. SNOSSA is an initiative aimed at improving the care and outcomes for patients with brain and spinal cord tumors in sub-Saharan Africa through collaborative research, education, and clinical care efforts. The organization brings together neuro-oncology professionals from across the region and beyond to address the unique challenges faced in this area and to promote advancements in neuro-oncology in sub-Saharan Africa. SNOSSA continues to partner with sister organizations such as the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO), European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) and the Society for Neuro-Oncology Latin America (SNOLA) as well as the International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA).

In 2023, EANO participated in the Society for Neuro-Oncology Sub-Saharan Africa conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Fantastic that we were part of this very successful SNOSSA2023 with colleagues and friends from the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO).

2018

Founding Publishing Activity Committee

The Committee for Publishing Activity supports the Executive Board of EANO and consists of editors that represent EANO in the following journals: Neuro-Oncology, Neuro-Oncology Practice and Neuro-Oncology Advances. All these journals are published by Oxford University Press (OUP).

The flagship journal Neuro-Oncology is owned by the US partner of EANO, the Society of Neuro-Oncology (SNO), with EANO as a minority shareholder. Furthermore, Neuro-Oncology is the official journal of the SNO, the Japan Society for Neuro-Oncology (JSNO), the EANO, and the World Federation of Neuro-Oncology Societies (WFNOS).

The main tasks of the committee are to ensure scientific representation and strategic orientation of EANO in these journals, providing a link between EANO and the journal publisher, and promote the publication activities within the EANO membership. 

The committee consists of the editors (Associate Editors, Executive Editors, and possibly Editor-in-Chief) in various publication sectors, the President, the Treasurer, and the Past President.

2018

From biennial to annual meetings

EANO’s conferences have been bringing together colleagues from all professions and disciplines involved in research on and care for patients with tumors of the nervous system since the inauguration of the association.
