European Foundation of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy

Education that moves neurointervention forward.

EFMINT supports education, scientific exchange and access to expertise in minimally invasive neurological therapy — connecting specialists, institutions and industry around better patient care.

Our mission

Less invasive. More connected.

Minimally invasive neurological therapy has transformed the treatment of stroke, aneurysms and other complex diseases of the brain and spine. EFMINT exists to help advance this field through education, research and scientific exchange.

A foundation for better neurointerventional care

EFMINT brings together expertise from neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurology and radiology. We support initiatives that make high-quality knowledge and specialist experience more accessible — especially where training opportunities and clinical resources are limited.

Established by ESMINT in 2013, EFMINT is a Swiss foundation dedicated to promoting minimally invasive neurological therapy.

Activities

From expertise to practice.

EFMINT supports educational formats that connect experienced specialists with physicians and centres across Europe — in person and remotely.
