The European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) 2026 will take place in Maastricht from 6–8 May. As in previous years, ESMINT will contribute as a partner with a joint scientific session and a hands-on workshop focused on neurointerventional stroke treatment.
These activities underscore our shared commitment with ESO to advancing stroke care across Europe and beyond.
Dedicated Neurointervention Track at ESOC 2026
In 2026, ESOC introduces a clearly structured Neurointervention Track running from Tuesday to Thursday. Designed as a non-parallel programme, it allows participants to follow a continuous interventional pathway with thematic depth and practical relevance.
The track brings together key topics across the spectrum of endovascular stroke care – from pre- and interhospital management to advanced imaging and frontiers in thrombectomy. Several sessions are organised in collaboration with partner societies, including ESMINT, further strengthening multidisciplinary exchange and the visibility of neurointervention within the broader stroke community.
Joint ESO–ESMINT Session
A key programme element will be the joint ESO–ESMINT session “Opportunities and challenges for endovascular treatment / Pushing the frontiers of endovascular treatment”, held on Wednesday, 6 May, 17:00–18:30 CEST.
The session will bring together experts from neurointerventions to discuss current developments, practical challenges and future perspectives in endovascular stroke care.
ESO–ESMINT Hands-on Workshop
ESMINT and ESO will also jointly offer a hands-on workshop on neurointerventional stroke treatment. Participants will have the chance to work with simulators, review essential thrombectomy techniques and gain practical insights in a structured training environment.
The workshop is aimed at both neurointerventionalists and neurologists involved in acute stroke management.
ESMINT Table at ESOC
ESMINT will host an information table in the exhibition area again. It will offer a place for exchange, networking and conversations with members, colleagues and new faces. Visitors will be able to meet the ESMINT team and learn more about our activities.
The table will provide an opportunity to explore ESMINT’s educational programmes – including ECMINT, EXMINT and other initiatives – as well as our upcoming congress, research grants and collaborative projects. Many will also use the chance to ask about membership benefits such as discounted congress fees, CME access and exclusive learning resources.
By creating space for direct interaction and feedback, the ESMINT table aims to support meaningful engagement with our multidisciplinary community and contribute to a productive ESOC experience.
Registration Open – Discount for ESMINT Members

Looking Ahead: ESOC 2026 in Maastricht
We look forward to contributing to ESOC 2026 and to continuing our collaboration with ESO. The joint session and the hands-on workshop will provide valuable opportunities for exchange, learning and professional development.
