It is internationally recognized as a leading academic and clinical institution, maintaining active collaborations with renowned European centers such as the Institute of Neurology at University College London (UCL), UK and others.
In the past we have performed several international EU funded projects. Among the most important are those related to dementia field:

Currently, it operates with 57 beds and includes several specialized units: a General Neurology Ward, Stroke Unit, Video-EEG Monitoring Unit, Electrophysiology Unit (covering EP, EMG, neurography, EEG, ultrasonography), Neuropsychology Unit, Neurochemistry Laboratory, and an outpatient clinic.
