NF European Scientific Meeting – Manchester

The 20th European Neurofibromatosis Meeting will be held in Manchester UK in October 2022 as a face to face conference. Whilst virtual conferences have led to a new way of working collaboratively internationally, these have somewhat stifled new collaborations as we have missed out on meeting socially together, as well as being able to talk face to face around posters.

This will be the 20th European Neurofibromatosis Conference representing over 30 years of NF conferences in Europe. Manchester has a world-leading reputation in neurofibromatosis research and is one of just two highly specialised services for NF1 in England, as well as the lead centre for the four centres NF2 highly specialised service set up in 2010. NF research began in the late 1980s in Manchester with Manchester producing the first management consensus guidelines at Old Trafford in 2004. Manchester has a rich history of clinical, epidemiological and molecular research on NF1, NF2 and Schwannomatosis.
