Zurich, Switzerland: The European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT) has welcomed five additional national societies to its Council of Affiliated Societies through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs):
- Belgian Society for Interventional and Therapeutical Neuroradiology (BSITN)
- Society of Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy in Bosnia and Herzegovina (SIRMIT BH)
- Portuguese Society of Interventional Neuroradiology (SPNI)
- Society of Interventional Radiology of North Macedonia (SIRNM)
- Serbian Society of Neuroradiology (UNRS)
These partnerships build on ESMINT’s existing collaborations with the French Society of Neuroradiology (SFNR), the German Society of Neuroradiology (DGNR) and the Finnish Society of NeuroInterventionalists (FSNI), bringing the Council to eight national societies.
The new partnerships were officially announced at the ESMINT Congress 2026, where ESMINT President Prof. Christian Taschner welcomed representatives of the societies on stage.
The MoUs provide a framework for closer collaboration between ESMINT and its national partners. Through mutual access to platforms, scientific resources and exclusive membership discounts, the partnerships support members in exchanging knowledge and engaging with the wider European neurointerventional community.
“Closer collaboration with national societies strengthens our European neurointerventional community. By sharing expertise, widening access to scientific resources and creating more opportunities for exchange, we can better support our members in their work and our shared commitment to improving patient care,” said Prof. Christian Taschner, President of ESMINT.
By strengthening connections between national societies and ESMINT, the network creates further opportunities to share expertise and support professional development. These collaborations reflect a shared commitment to supporting practitioners and enhancing patient care across Europe.
