To COMMUNICATE with our members to achieve positive change and to ensure that our actions both represent and provide added value to their own concerns and activities.
To establish strong partnerships and alliances with relevant stakeholders in the scientific, clinical, political and corporate arenas to help us to REACH our goals .Main EU files targeted
EFNA coordinates an MEP Interest Group on Brain, Mind and Pain and so we follow closely EU initiatives, policies and legislative files in the healthcare and research arenas which may impact on those affected by neurological disorders.
