The European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) is Europe’s leading conference in the field of stroke research and the clinical care of patients with cerebrovascular diseases. Each year, ESOC brings together the international stroke community to share the latest scientific developments and innovations.

In 2026, ESOC will take place at MECC Maastricht. Maastricht is not only known as the birthplace of the Maastricht Treaty but also as a center of scientific progress. The city played a key role in the groundbreaking MrClean trial on stroke treatment.

ESOC 2026 will feature a comprehensive scientific programme, focusing on the latest insights in prevention, treatment, diagnostics, and recovery after stroke. The conference offers ample opportunities for knowledge exchange, scientific discussion, and professional development.

ESOC 2026 in Maastricht promises to be an inspiring edition for everyone involved in stroke care and research.
