The fourth in-person European Life After Stroke Forum will take place in Stockholm on 9-10 March 2026. The Forum is a unique event where healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers and those affected by stroke can come together to address the issues of life after stroke.

About the European Life After Stroke Forum

The impact of a stroke is devastating, leaving those affected to navigate years of cognitive, communication, relationship, financial and health challenges with insufficient support. Current research and resources primarily focus on stroke prevention, and early treatment and rehabilitation, neglecting the longer term needs of survivors. Research into life after stroke is crucial, as highlighted in the Stroke Action Plan for Europe 2018-2030.

The vision of the event is to unite stroke voices from across Europe to collectively reduce the burden of life after stroke. The main goal to provide a unique platform where healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers and those affected by stroke can come together to address these issues.

The forth ELASF in Stockholm will feature a programme filled with the latest research and best practice, with the voices of people with lived experience at its heart. With this mix of knowledge and real-life stories we want to inspire and motivate our attendees, and ultimately empower them to make impactful changes in their countries. Together, we will drive the improvement of life after stroke care and support across Europe forward.
