The European Life After Stroke Forum’s scientific committee is inviting submissions of abstracts across three categories:
- Scientific: for completed or ongoing research focussed on life after stroke. Submit here.
- Service development: for innovative service developments in life after stroke that could benefit others. Submit here.
- Lived experience: for people who have experienced a stroke or those who have supported a loved one through it to share their experiences in creating change. Submit

Abstracts play a pivotal role at the Forum, providing opportunities to share your work and experiences with fellow peers.
Formats:
