Since the autonomic field in fact overlaps with a number of disciplines, several were held as joint meetings with partnering international societies.
[5][6] The 2018 meeting (which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the society) took place in Vienna; the event was in collaboration with the International Congress of Nerve and Muscle Diseases.
[7] Since 2009, EFAS started to organize regular teaching events, in the beginning with support of the European Federation of Neurological Societies.
[8] Motivation to initiate those events were the scarce clinical knowledge in autonomic fields based on the absence of structured training in many European countries.
Currently, one day of the annual congress is dedicated to training young doctors in autonomic evaluation skills (EFAS School).
