ABOUT THE EVENT

2026 Annual Meeting: ECCN GHENT

eccn 2026 march 23-25, 2026 Ghent, Belgium

The 14th European Conference on Clinical Neuroimaging (ECCN, March 23rd-25th, 2026) will bring together clinicians and researchers with a focus on neurology and neuroimaging. We will discuss new technologies and how these will impact the clinical field.

Besides a great scientific program, the location of this year will allow you to visit Ghent, a magnificent and vivid historical city. It is known for its  picturesque canals and cobblestone streets, castle and old churches and its the house of a prized 15th century painting ‘The mystic lamb’ that is currently restored.

We look forward seeing you in Ghent to discuss the science and opportunities of neuroimaging in this historical and vivid city.
