Dear colleagues and friends,
I am thrilled to extend an invitation to you for our upcoming 11th SNSS Annual Meeting with international participation entitled "Ethico-Legal Aspects in Neurosurgery in the 21st Century: Challenges and Opportunities"; which will take place in the beautiful city of Novi Sad, Serbia, from October 23 to 26, 2025.
We are delighted that we will have the opportunity to host a Joint ventures with the EANS Ethico-Legal Committee, and the Southeast Europe Neurosurgical Society - SeENS.
The ethico-legal aspects of neurosurgery are of paramount importance in today’s rapidly evolving medical landscape. As we witness unprecedented advancements in technology and neuroscience, neurosurgeons face increasingly complex ethical dilemmas and legal challenges that require careful consideration and informed decision-making. By fostering discussions among professionals, researchers, and industry partners, we can develop best practices that not only enhance patient outcomes but also establish a framework for ethical decision-making in neurosurgery. This dialogue is essential for promoting accountability, transparency, and integrity within our field.
The upcoming meeting will provide a platform for these vital conversations, and we encourage all stakeholders to participate actively in shaping the future of neurosurgery through a thoughtful exploration of it. Our program will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers, including renowned experts from various fields, who will share their insights and experiences. We encourage you to engage actively in discussions, as your perspectives are invaluable to fostering a comprehensive understanding of these critical issues.
We are excited to host this important event in Novi Sad, a city known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and commitment to innovation. We encourage you to mark your calendars and join us for what promises to be an inspiring and educational experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to Novi Sad next year, where together we can explore the ethical and legal challenges we face and harness the opportunities that lie ahead.
Thank you, and we hope to see you there!
Cordially,
Prof. Dr. Lukas Rasulic

Dear colleagues, dear friends,
As President of SeENS, I am honoured and delighted to invite you to the 11th SNSS Annual Meeting that will take place in Novi Sad, Serbia, between 23 and 26 October 2025. The meeting organized by the Serbian Neurosurgical Society addresses both its national members and neurosurgeons all over Europe and worldwide. For this meeting, SNSS has partnered with the SeENS and the EANS Ethico-legal Committee to address a critical facet of neurosurgery, namely "Ethico- legal aspects of neurosurgery in the 21st century: challenges and opportunities".
SeENS took shape more than 12 years ago as a result of the remarkable efforts of several enthusiastic and authentic road-openers, such as our friends Lukas Rasulic, Kresimir Rotim, and Tomislav Sajko, as well as many other leaders of their national societies who have brought their extraordinary contribution and experience to the continuous growth and development of SeENS. Nowadays, SeENS is considered one of the most active regional societies, a recognized member of EANS and WFNS, thoroughly involved in developing regional, scientific and professional cooperation, but mainly dedicated to educating new generations of neurosurgeons.
Along with SNSS, we wish to contribute to the constant development of neurosurgery on a regional and international level, especially in the context of the rapid transformation and emergence of new technologies where collaboration and adaptation become of utmost importance. I am confident that the scientific program will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research, advancements, and breakthroughs in neurosurgery, here within the ethico-legal aspects included, so that we can provide our patients with the best possible care.
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I invite you to participate in this meeting, take advantage of the shared knowledge and expertise, and also use this opportunity to connect with colleagues, exchange ideas, and build lasting professional relationships.
Best regards,
Prof. Ioan Stefan Florian, MD, PhD
SeENS President, Honorary President of the Meeting
