我是 Alphonce M Nyalali，山东第一医科大学（山东省医学科学院）国际教育学院的一名博士生。最近，我参加了欧洲神经肿瘤协会（EANO）于2024年10月16日至20日在英国苏格兰格拉斯哥举办的两场活动。第一个活动是2024年10月16日举行的EANO神经肿瘤学院项目启动仪式。第二项活动是第19届欧洲神经肿瘤协会会议（2024年10月17日至20日）。启动仪式和第19届欧洲神经肿瘤协会会议在格拉斯哥的苏格兰活动校园举行。
I am Alphonce M Nyalali, a PhD student at the School of International Education, Shandong First Medical University. I recently attended two events organized by the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), which took place in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, from October 16th to 20th, 2024. The first event was a kick-off event of the EANO School of Neuro-Oncology program on October 16th, 2024. The second event was the 19th Conference of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (October 17th to 20th, 2024). The kick-off event and the 19th EANO Conference were held at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow.
EANO 是欧洲的多学科神经肿瘤学组织，代表了预防、诊断和治疗中枢神经系统 (CNS) 肿瘤的所有医学和科学学科。EANO 神经肿瘤学院是一个为期 2 年的神经肿瘤学综合高级研究生深度虚拟（在线）培训项目。其目的是为计划在该领域发展的医疗保健专业人员和基础科学家提供该学科各个方面的高级教育，包括基础科学、流行病学、诊断、成人和儿童所有神经肿瘤疾病的治疗，以及幸存者的支持性护理和临终关怀和研究。

EANO is Europe’s multidisciplinary Neuro-Oncology organization representing all medical and scientific disciplines involved in preventing, diagnosing, and treating tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). The EANO School of Neuro-Oncology is a comprehensive high-level, postgraduate, in-depth 2-year virtual (online) training programme in neuro-oncology. It aims to provide advanced education on all aspects of the discipline, including basic science, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of all neuro-oncology conditions for adults and children, as well as supportive care for survivors and end-of-life care and research to healthcare professionals and basic scientists planning a career in the field.
The current batch comprises 24 participants: 21 from Europe, and one from Asia (Philippines), South America (Brazil), and Africa (Tanzania). These participants were selected among 75 applicants on a competitive basis. They are from the fields of neurology, medical oncology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology, neuroradiology, neuropathology, specialized nursing and allied health professionals, and basic/translational scientists working in neuro-oncology or related fields.
本批学员共有 24 人：大部分来自欧洲，其他来自亚洲（菲律宾）、南美洲（巴西）和非洲（坦桑尼亚）。这些学员是从 75 名申请者中通过竞争选拔出来的。他们分别来自神经内科、肿瘤内科、神经外科、肿瘤放射科、神经放射科、神经病理科、专业护理和专职医疗人员，以及从事神经肿瘤学或相关领域工作的基础/转化科学家。
The kick-off event was truly exciting, featuring a keynote speech by Dr. Susan Short, President of EANO, followed by participant introductions and a series of exceptional lectures from a diverse group of experts. These speakers covered a range of topics, including epidemiology, radiotherapy, neuropathology, neurosurgery, and nursing, and represented various countries across Europe. Another highlight of the day was a moving talk by a brain tumor survivor, who is also a medical specialist. This session provided me and my fellow participants with invaluable insights into comprehensive patient care. The day concluded with a dinner hosted by the EANO-SNO committee, offering an opportunity for participants to reconnect, familiarize themselves with one another, and engage in meaningful professional exchanges.
启动仪式非常激动人心，EANO 主席苏珊-肖特博士发表了主旨演讲，随后是与会者介绍和一系列由不同领域专家带来的精彩讲座。这些演讲者涵盖了流行病学、放射治疗、神经病理学、神经外科和护理等一系列主题。当天的另一个亮点是一位脑肿瘤幸存者的感人演讲，她也是一位医学专家。这一环节为我和其他与会者提供了全面护理病人的宝贵见解。会议结束时，EANO-SNO 委员会举行了晚宴，为与会者提供了一个重新建立联系、相互熟悉和进行有意义的专业交流的机会。
The 19th Conference of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), held from October 17 to 20, 2024, was an engaging and comprehensive four-day event. The conference kicked off with an Education Day on Thursday, October 17, followed by a welcoming ceremony in the evening. In general, the meeting covered a broad range of topics, including advanced therapies, quality of life, artificial intelligence, and data sharing. The event fostered collaboration across various disciplines, including neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, radiation oncology, and allied health fields. Experts from around the world presented the latest findings in clinical trials, as well as breakthroughs in basic, translational, and clinical science.
第19届欧洲神经肿瘤协会（EANO）会议于2024年10月17日至20日举行，为期四天，是一次引人入胜的综合性会议。会议以10月17日星期四的“教育日 ”拉开帷幕，随后在晚上举行了欢迎仪式。总体而言，会议涵盖了广泛的主题，包括先进疗法、生活质量、人工智能和数据共享。此次会议促进了神经肿瘤学、神经外科、神经病理学、神经放射学、放射肿瘤学和相关医疗领域等不同学科之间的合作。来自世界各地的专家介绍了临床试验的最新发现，以及基础科学、转化科学和临床科学的突破性进展。
In addition to the scientific sessions, the conference featured career-enhancing programs like the Career Boost Initiative, Youngsters Networking, and the EANO Evening, which provided valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth. These activities made my participation in the event an inspiring and rewarding experience.
除科学会议外，大会还举办了职业提升计划、年轻人交流会和EANO之夜等活动，为个人和职业发展提供了宝贵的机会。本次参会我收获颇丰。
