The main activities of the European Charcot Foundation are the execution of clinical trials, the organisation of Symposia and Teaching Courses.

The European Charcot Foundation is a “Learned Society”. The Board of the Foundation is composed of high ranking MS researchers in Europe, with one U.S.A. member.

In its annual Symposia, the Foundation is indicating new lines in MS research. Having identified these lines, the Foundation is active in finding funds to realize them. Its collaborative base consists of 500 MS research institutes and 1500 MS investigators. 

The European Charcot Foundation establishes an interface between the Pharmaceutical Industries and the Clinical World.
