Council of Nations

WON/ESNCH - World Organization of Neurosonology

The Council of Nations (CoN) is one of the main organs of the WON/ESNCH and  is charged with ensuring international scientific cooperation.

Each country representative, defined as Ambassador of the WON/ESNCH, has the objective of disseminating Neurosonology, promoting ultrasound courses and meetings in his/her country and recruiting new members to the Society.

The Ambassadors are elected as the respected experts in Neurosonology. The Ambassadors are nominated by the CoN coordinators, after recommendation from national representatives as respected experts in Neurosonology.

Among the national experts, an advantage in the nomination will be given to those already proven as active promotors of neurosonology (organisers of local scientific meetings and teaching courses), preferably being also members of the national neurosonological societies, if such exist.

The Ambassador’s work is assessed every 2 years for possible renewal.

Below this announcement you will find a list of all the countries with an Ambassador identified. If your country is not yet listed, please contact ESNCH proposing a Neurosonologist, and mention why yourself/he/she should be included.

The CoN held its first meeting in Lisbon at the WON/ESNCH conference, October 14-16 2022.
