Not all centers have the facilities to train young neurologists adequately in their area of interest, so the trainee may have to spend time in another country. One of the YNT's priorities is to help interested trainees to find a specialised training center in their subspeciality. Have a look at the OFTEN programme.

OFTEN*): The European Board of Neurology of the UEMS (Union of European Medical Specialists) has a programme to assist neurology training abroad, called OFTEN (Open Facilities for Training in European Neurology). The YNT administrates the OFTEN programme since 2006.

OFTEN  lists 106 neurology departments in Europe which are willing in principle to accept neurology trainees from any country in Europe for 3-12 months, and can provide high quality training.

OFTEN will give information to help trainees to arrange this, but does not provide any funding. If You are interested in this programe, please contact Walter Struhal.

2008 the OFTEN partner institutes list was updated.
