EHC 2024

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU! Dear colleagues, The world is dynamic like never before. While there are many positive developments regarding novel treatments against headache, unfortunately there is still a lot of inequity in the world regarding access to these treatments, but also regarding the effectiveness across different populations. The European Headache Federation strives to improve health and promote well-being for all individuals with headache. To achieve that goal, it is crucial to connect fundamental scientific knowledge with a clinical perspective, as will be offered in our congress programme. We therefore look forward to welcoming you to the 18th European Headache Congress held in Rotterdam from 4 to 7 December 2024. Towards a better headache treatment for everyone. Prof. Antoinette Maassen van den Brink and Prof. Jan Versijpt Congress chairs

ROTTERDAM – DYNAMIC WORLD CITY Rotterdam is a dynamic world city, internationally known as the ‘Gateway to Europe’. The port, the busiest in Europe and the smartest in the world, is the anchor of Europe’s maritime and offshore cluster. Rotterdam is also home to leading, innovative clusters in other key economic sectors such as life sciences and health, cleantech, logistics and agri-food. Thanks to our port and its excellent hinterland connections, our international airports (only 20 min by train to Schiphol Airport Amsterdam) and our superior (digital) infrastructure, Rotterdam has the best connectivity in Europe. And not only the city is perfect to host the EHC 2024 but also the venue. From the auditorium to all other session rooms, the industry exhibition and ePosters, the WTC offers the possibility of accommodating all rooms on the same level. Benefit from short distances between the programme highlights. © Fred Romero - wikimedia.org
