On 12-14 March 2009, the European Headache School was held in Palma de Mallorca (Spain). Organized by the Spanish Headache Group in close collaboration with the European Headache Federation (EHF), the European Headache School provided an updated and practical experience in the management of headache. In the framework of the 2009 course, the Eurolight project was presented in a specific session by Prof Fabio ANTONACI, chairman of EHF and evaluator of the Eurolight project, in close collaboration with Dr Miguel LAINEZ, chairman of the Headache school 2009 and associated partner in the Eurolight project.

The European Headache School is a short-term educational project opened to medical doctors and other academic therapists or researchers having an interest in headache. Its main objective is to enable its participants to improve and exchange the knowledge, skills and professional performance in the care of patients with headache.

Since 1992, European Headache Schools have been organized in different European countries such as Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Greece, France,...

EHF aim to present guidelines to promote education about headache in Europe on a national basis organizing courses that should meet standardized requirements of excellence and guarantee (code of conduct), both as investment and increase in knowledge. We believe that the proposal of a headache teaching format might help in distributing knowledge and understanding of headache in European countries.
