Bern can easily be reached by car, as well. Thanks to the direct access to the highways from Geneva/Valais (A12), Zurich/Basel (A1) and the Bernese Oberland (A6), travellers can reach the federal city in no time.

Once in Bern, we recommend leaving you car in one of the city’s parking garages. Many hotels also have good parking options. Good to know: Driving through the lower part of the Old City is only allowed for residents or suppliers.

Program

You can look forward to an exciting and varied scientific and training programme with a focus on:

  • Neuromuscular diseases
  • Neurooncology
  • Vascular diseases
  • Prenatal neuropaediatrics

There will also be other topics such as palliative care in neuropaediatrics, epilepsy and neuropsychological aspects. 

On Friday, the main sessions will be held in English in order to maintain close cooperation with the European (EPNS) and Swiss (SSNP) societies and to make participation attractive and possible for our French and Italian-speaking colleagues in Switzerland.

 

The conference will take place in the Kursaal Bern, in the heart of the city with a view of the old town and the mountains. 

We would like to invite you in advance to the Inselspital on 1 October 2025 for the training academy and the ethics forum (both will be held in german).

Together we would like to celebrate our society’s milestone birthday with you at the social evening in the legendary Bierhübeli.

We look forward to seeing you and showing you our city and Swiss specialities, to exciting contributions and the opportunity to learn something new.

For all those who are unable to attend in person, we will be offering the main presentations via livestream.
