Sociedad Española de Neurología Pediatrica

What Sociedad Española de Neurología Pediatrica does

SENEP (Sociedad Española de Neurología Pediátrica) is Spain's only scientific society dedicated exclusively to pediatric neurology, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Madrid. The society serves approximately 650 members, primarily practicing pediatric neurologists, residents, and allied professionals affiliated with major reference hospitals including Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Hospital Vall d'Hebron, Hospital La Paz, and Hospital 12 de Octubre. It operates as a non-profit professional association with no equity, no venture funding, and no software product line.

The society's core offerings include annual scientific congresses (now in the 48th edition), specialty working groups, scholarship and grant programs, and a published library of clinical protocols. It co-accredits pediatric neurology training with the Asociación Española de Pediatría (AEP) and maintains collaborative relationships with the Sociedad Española de Neurología (SEN) and the European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS), the latter of which SENEP will co-host in Barcelona in 2027. Revenue is generated through membership dues, congress registration fees, and industry sponsorship, with no commercial product or fee-for-service offering outside of these streams.

SENEP also functions as the principal advocacy voice for the specialty in Spain, lobbying the Ministry of Health for the creation of an Área de Capacitación Específica (ACE) in pediatric neurology and supporting international cooperation programs such as Neurocooperation with African pediatric neurology training initiatives. The 2025 board transition under president Madruga Garrido has introduced a refreshed agenda centered on AI training for members, increased media presence, and continued internationalization, indicating a society in active strategic evolution despite its non-commercial structure.

Broad incumbents

• Sociedad Española de Neurología (SEN): SEN is the Spanish adult neurology society that co-issues pediatric neurology accreditation and hosts Revista de Neurología as SENEP's official publication. It is a broader incumbent whose mission and membership overlap with SENEP in the neuropediatric subspecialty space.
• Asociación Española de Pediatría (AEP): AEP is the broader Spanish pediatrics association that co-issues pediatric neurology accreditation alongside SEN and SENEP. It represents the parent specialty organization whose membership subsumes the pediatric neurology community, making it an overlapping incumbent rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Child Neurology Society: The Child Neurology Society is the leading US professional society for child neurologists, offering annual meetings, training resources, and subspecialty networks. It is directly comparable to SENEP in mission and member services, though at a larger US scale.
• European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS): EPNS is the umbrella European society for pediatric neurology, organizing the biennial EPNS Congress that SENEP will host in Barcelona in April 2027. It serves the same specialist audience (pediatric neurologists) at a pan-European level, with overlapping congress, training, and advocacy missions.
• British Paediatric Neurology Association (BPNA): BPNA is the UK professional association for pediatric neurologists, with comparable functions in training accreditation, annual meetings, and clinical guidelines. Both organizations serve as the national scientific voice for pediatric neurology within their respective countries and engage with EPNS.

Regional players

• Deutsche Gesellschaft für Neuropädiatrie (GNP): GNP is the German pediatric neurology society, organizing national meetings and accrediting training programs in a comparable regulatory context. It is a regional peer serving Germany's substantially larger specialist base.
• Società Italiana di Neurologia Pediatrica (SINP): SINP is the Italian national pediatric neurology society, with comparable activities in congress organization, training, and guideline publication. It serves a similar Mediterranean professional community and competes for international visibility within EPNS.
• Société Française de Neurologie Pédiatrique (SFNP): SFNP is the French national society for pediatric neurology, sharing SENEP's focus on continuing education, working groups, and clinical protocols. It operates in a parallel national context rather than directly competing in Spain, making it a strong regional peer for benchmarking programs.
