18. Baltic Sea Summer School on Epilepsy 2025

The 18. BSSSE will take place as a virtual event on the 5 afternoons of Sept. 17,19,23,24 and 26, 2025.

It consists of a series of “webtorials”, i.e. interactive tutored discussions in small groups. Participation is free of charge but requires online presence throughout the course.

Announcement

Target audience: The BSSSE are primarily addressed to medical postgraduates and junior researchers (age usually up to 40 years) with a special clinical or scientific interest in epilepsy.
Topics: All topics relate to the curriculum of the ILAE Epilepsy Academy. They include EEG (Norm variants and artifacts; Recognizing spikes), Imaging (MRI and other imaging in epilepsy), Pharmacotherapy (How to use ASM monitoring; Where are we with the newest ASM generation?), Status epilepticus, Epileptic aura, Epilepsy and mental handicap, Subjective factors in epilepsy treatment, Neurostimulation, Pediatric epilepsy syndromes, and Case-oriented study (2 sessions with distinguished tutors).

Format: The BSSSE will accept 40 participants who work in 4 groups of parallel webtorials. Webtorials are a strictly interactive format where a small group works with a faculty member. Active participation is expected and encouraged by the tutors. Fluency in English is a precondition. Webtorials are not recorded for later use.
