Practical Seminar Epilepsy and EEG

38th Practical Seminar Epilepsy and EEG 2026 cancelled!

As we informed you in our email of March 17, 2026, the ongoing construction work at Palazzo Feltrinelli, our traditional conference venue, has prevented the University of Milan from reconfirming our event dates (September 13-16, 2026).

We, the organizing team of the MICHAEL FOUNDATION, are extremely disappointed by this, but unfortunately, we have no insight into the progress of the work in Italy.

Since all participants in the seminar now need to finalize their travel and personal plans for September, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the event.

Of course, we intend to continue our seminar tradition next year; we will apply for a September date again. As soon as it is confirmed, we will publish it on our website.

Given that this is the second time we have had to cancel, we will be refunding all registration fees paid to date in the coming days.

Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Bettina Schmitz and Prof. Dr. Ulrich Stephani
