    Education and Technology Committee 2022–2026

    The Education and Technology Committee of ICNA plays a central role in advancing global child neurology education. Through strategic initiatives, it fosters knowledge exchange and capacity building across diverse regions. The Committee oversees a wide spectrum of activities, including ICNA-led masterclasses, regional partnerships, and the innovative NeuroXchange series—an ICNA-branded educational platform designed to enhance interdisciplinary learning.

    A cornerstone of the Committee’s work is the International Child Neurology Teaching Network (ICNTN), which hosts monthly Grand Rounds, certificate-based modular courses, and language-accessible webinars to promote inclusive and flexible learning. The Committee’s commitment to e-learning innovation, multilingual outreach, and high-quality content delivery continues to elevate ICNA’s mission to train the next generation of child neurologists worldwide.
