Welcome to Hydrocephalus Society!
Hydrocephalus Society was inaugurated in September 2008 and registered as a nonprofit organization in December of the same year. From the beginning, its mission has been to advance the art and science of the field of clinical care and research in hydrocephalus and CSF disorders, and thereby promote the best possible care for patients with these disorders. You are encouraged to join the Society to promote international exchanges, worldwide representation, and stimulating research and debate.
The Hydrocephalus World Congress is held annually in different locations around the globe, bringing together experts, researchers, and professionals to advance knowledge and collaboration in the field. In recent years, the congress has taken place in Gothenburg, Sweden (2022), Hamburg, Germany (2023) and Nagoya, Japan (2024). Looking forward, we are excited to host future meetings in Toulouse, France (2025), São Paulo, Brazil (2026), Baltimore, USA (2027), and Rome, Italy (2028).
Fluids and barriers of the CNS
Hydrocephalus Society has entered into a partnership with BioMed Central’s open access journal Fluids and Barriers of the CNS (FBCNS), in which FBCNS is now an official journal of our Society. The open access publishing model provides articles for free to the general public as well as scientists, clinicians and other healthcare practitioners throughout the world. FBCNS provides a dedicated avenue for the dissemination of research into all molecular, physiological and pharmacological aspects of brain fluids and barrier systems and their role in neurological disorders.
Members are eligible for a 15% discount on the article-processing charge when publishing with FBCNS and should log into the society’s members area to obtain the reference code to use at submission.
