About the European Charcot Foundation
The European Charcot Foundation is an independent non-profit organization for advancing Multiple Sclerosis research, governed by a co-opted Board of recognized active MS researchers.
The European Charcot Foundation's collaborative base consists of 500 MS research institutes and 1500 MS researchers.
Sponsored by private organizations, as well as by Multiple Sclerosis societies and industry, it establishes an interface between all relevant players within the MS community.
At its Annual Meetings, the foundation is directive in indicating new lines in MS research.
The Board of the foundation is made up of high-ranking MS researchers from Europe, Asia and the Americas.
The European Charcot Foundation is registered at the Chamber of Commerce in Brussels, Belgium.
