The American Headache Society (AHS) is a professional society of health care providers dedicated to the study and treatment of headache and face pain.
The mission of AHS is to improve the care and lives of people living with headache disorders.
The Society’s objective is to promote the exchange of information and ideas concerning the causes and treatments of headache and related painful disorders. Educating physicians, health professionals, and the public, and encouraging scientific research are the primary functions of the Society.
AHS activities include an Annual Scientific Meeting, a comprehensive headache symposium, regional symposia for neurologists and family practice physicians, publication of the journal Headache and sponsorship of the American Migraine Foundation.

The European Academy of Neurology (EAN) is a non-profit, independent organisation representing more than 45,000 members as well as 47 European national societies.
EAN was founded in 2014 when the two main European neurological societies, the European Neurological Society (ENS) and European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS), agreed to join forces and merge into a single organisation. EAN was officially founded at the joint meeting of the ENS and EFNS in Istanbul in June 2014, creating Europe’s Home of Neurology.
As a medical society EAN promotes excellence in the practice of general neurology throughout Europe, leading to improved patient care, and aims to keep Europe at the forefront of neurological research and maintain its position as one of the world’s scientific hotpots in neurology.

The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) was formed in Brussels in 1957, as an association of national neurological societies. Today WFN represents 120 professional national societies in all regions of the world, and each society registers its own individual member neurologists with us. The delegates, one from each national society, elect the trustees and officers.
The mission of the WFN, as a UK registered charity, is to foster quality neurology and brain health worldwide, a goal we seek to achieve by promoting global neurological education and training, with the emphasis placed firmly on under-resourced parts of the world.
The WFN holds biennial world congresses, which rotate throughout the regions (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe) of the world. The congress consists of scientific sessions, teaching courses as well as structural and business meetings.
