Event Notes:

Step into the forefront of neurology and neurosurgery at the International Neurology &
Neurosurgery Conference (INNC) 2026, the UK’s largest and most anticipated
undergraduate event for aspiring neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroscience
enthusiasts. Held at the UCL East Campus on 17-18 January 2026, this two-day
conference is packed with unparalleled opportunities designed to inspire, educate, and
connect.

This year’s theme, “Pioneering Advancements in Neurology and Neurosurgery: From
Discovery to Impact,” is carefully designed to deepen your understanding of how these
fields intersect and ultimately have a unique impact on patient care.

Why Attend INNC 2026?

Engage with World-Renowned Experts: INNC 2026 brings together top minds in
neurology and neurosurgery with speakers who are pioneers in fields such as
brain-computer interfaces, interventional neuroradiology, and neuro-oncology,
amongst many others. You will gain insights from internationally acclaimed professionals
and learn from real-world case studies, advanced surgical techniques, and
cutting-edge research/innovations shaping the future of these specialities. INNC
2026 is your chance to learn about the advancements set to transform patient care in
the coming years.

Hands-On Workshops: Dive into a range of 16+ interactive, hands-on workshops
covering skills such as micro-suturing, stroke, spine fixation, brain dissection, surgical

Shortlisted essays will be showcased at the conference.

Inclusive and Inspiring Environment: This year, we are expanding our Widening
Participation initiative, inviting 75 school students from under-represented
backgrounds to experience the world of neurology and neurosurgery alongside
university students. Be a part of a movement that promotes diversity and inclusivity
within the medical field.
