ECMINT 6.1 took place 23-27 June, at St Anne’s College, Oxford. This first course of the sixth cycle focused on neurovascular disease of the skull base. 98 in-person attendees were on site in Oxford and 80 attended online.
As ever, the scientific programme provided an intense mix of didactic lectures, small group tutorials, Q&A sessions and case studies, culminating an end of course exam on Friday morning. It was great to welcome recent ECMINT graduate, Ronni Mikkelsen, back to Oxford as an ECMINT lecturer, and his anatomy lectures were much appreciated by delegates and faculty alike.
In person attendees were lucky to see Oxford at its best in the sunny weather, and we all appreciated being able to sit out on the College lawns during breaks and take meals and coffee breaks in the marquee. The networking event at the riverside Cherwell Boathouse restaurant was another summery highlight.
ECMINT is a unique and much appreciated course, which wouldn’t be possible without the enormous contributions of many people. Our profound thanks to course directors Phil White and Adam Rennie and course administrators Tarryn Ching and Anna Dzido for all their hard work, to our stellar faculty for taking the time to come to Oxford and share their knowledge and time so generously, to the team at Reattendance who provide the livestream and recordings, to our examination providers, Orzone and in particular Roger Karlsson, to the team St Anne’s College, and to everyone else involved.

ECMINT (the “European Course in Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy) is ESMINT’s intensive theoretical training covering the whole spectrum of neurointerventions. It consists in 4 courses over 2 years. Participants based in Europe are strongly encouraged to participate in person, while in recent years the increasingly robust virtual offering has enabled participants from around the world to join.
All those who complete a full ECMINT cycle (and achieve satisfactory grades in the course quizzes) are eligible to sit the examinations leading to the European Diploma in Neurointervention (EDNI).
