About us

Welcome to the website of the Luxembourg Society of Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery (SLNCR) ASBL, a non-profit scientific organization founded in 2024 with the aim of harmonizing neurosurgical and spinal care expertise across Luxembourg. As a key player in the promotion of neurosurgery and spine surgery within Luxembourg, our scientific committee and society is committed to advancing the field and shaping its future.

The SLNCR ASBL has a socially driven and non-profit mission, with the following objectives:

  • Promoting and representing the scientific achievements of Luxembourgish neurosurgery, both within the country and internationally;
  • Maintaining the scientific qualifications of its members to the highest standards;
  • Advancing the quality of care in neurosurgery across the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

In pursuit of these goals, we focus on:

  • Promoting the inclusion of patients in clinical studies related to neurosurgery, conducted at both national and international levels;
  • Contributing to the ongoing education of professionals working in neurosurgery;
  • Representing and collaborating with Luxembourgish neurosurgeons through partnerships with national and international organizations that share similar aims;
  • Organizing events for neurosurgeons, medical trainees specializing in neurosurgery, and neuroscience specialists, including courses—sometimes in collaboration with industrial partners in neurosurgery;
  • Hosting events for the general public, focusing on raising awareness and understanding of neurosurgery;
  • Protecting and developing the professional interests of our members in partnership with professional defense associations.

We uphold the highest standards of medical ethics, providing comprehensive support to patients through interdisciplinary collaboration. This includes working closely with related fields such as neuro-oncology and addressing complex spinal issues that require advanced, multidisciplinary care.

The SLNCR ASBL actively promotes knowledge sharing and education, organizing seminars aimed both at patients and healthcare professionals. These events target general practitioners, specialists, and those in training, ensuring that medical professionals at all levels are equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques in neurosurgery and spine care.

Our society welcomes neurosurgeons and spine surgeons as full members, while any physician, any person/ organization interested in our field or activities can join as an affiliate member. Additionally, we engage with the wider public through a newsletter, designed to keep patients informed and connected to the latest developments in their care and our planned events.

Looking ahead, the SLNCR seeks to establish international collaborations with the European Society of Neurosurgery (EANS) and spine-related medical organizations in Europe. Our goal is to position the SLNCR as a central hub for neurosurgical expertise in Luxembourg, while expanding our partnerships across Europe.

Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any emerging questions.

Cheers,

The Board Comity of the Luxembourgish Society of Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery (SLNCR) ASBL.
