As a medical and scientific society, the Hydrocephalus Society condemns the war against the sovereign and the democratic state of Ukraine in the strongest terms. Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people who suffer unimaginably and the Russian people who raise their voices against this unjustified aggression.  We ask the Russian government to stop this war immediately and return to the negotiating table.

You are hereby invited to participate to this short survey and help us further improve our services, structure and strategies, towards the development of a global network for the Hydrocephalus and CSF Community.

Please note that the survey is anonymous. You will be asked to provide some qualitative information and you will have the option to share your email address if you want to receive news from the Hydrocephalus Society in the future.

You can now register for the Hydrocephalus Meeting 2022 and benefit from the early rates!

2022 marks the year for our return to physical Meetings and we are truly excited to invite you to join us for the 14th Annual Meeting of the Hydrocephalus Society, in Gothenburg, Sweden, between 9-12 September 2022.

Invited lectures by top-scientists of the Hydrocephalus and CSF Global Community, more than 120 original research abstracts presentations, global networking, our highlight Young Investigators Awards, are only some of what you will get by registering for the Meeting!

A year ago we thought the Covid 19 pandemic would be over soon, unfortunately we are still fighting new waves and no clear end is in sight. That is also the reason why we will continue with conferences and education online. Online meetings have advantages (no travelling, cheaper participation) but disadvantages (more difficult discussions, lacking personal contacts) as well.

Respecting the pandemic situation and the restrictions for travelling we are going to continue the successful webinar on NPH of last year with an additional series on surgical techniques of hydrocephalus shunts and ETV for young neurosurgeons. Nevertheless, we are looking very much forward to a physical meeting next year in Gothenburg, Sweden, Sept. 9-12, 2022.

The new Hydrocephalus Society Global Webinar Series 2021/2022 on NPH and Surgical Techniques for Young Neurosurgeons will consist of ten 60-minute webinars occurring once or twice per month between November 2021 and Mai 2022. The timing of the webinars varies to allow a rotation between favorable European, Asian, and American time zones.

These webinars will draw on the clinical, surgical, and scientific expertise of experts in the field of NPH. It will be provided free of charge for members of the Hydrocephalus Society and for 10 Euros / webinar for non-members. Read more and register
