VJNeurology Behind the Camera: Sleep Europe 2024

7 October 2024

It was our pleasure to attend the European Sleep Research Society’s biennial congress, #SleepEurope2024, for the very first time this year.


A big thank you to everyone who participated in an interview with our VJNeurology Publishing Team onsite – it was lovely to see so many familiar faces (and some new ones!) and to hear your insightful #SleepResearch updates

If you missed anything at the conference or couldn’t attend in person, our congress coverage will be available soon on both the Sleep Europe page and on the Sleep Disorders Channel

Here are some of our editor’s top picks from the conference:
