EANO 2026 runs in Rome from 24 to 27 September 2026, with a multiprofessional Educational Day followed by the main annual meeting of the European Association of Neuro-Oncology. It is aimed at clinicians, researchers, nurses, allied health professionals and trainees working across neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, radiation oncology, paediatric neuro-oncology and related basic science. The visible programme includes educational tracks in basic science, clinical neuro-oncology and supportive care, plus plenary, pro/con, joint society, oral abstract, mini-oral and poster-viewing sessions. Late-breaking abstract submission closed on 9 June 2026; submissions used a structured 2,500-character format and accepted abstracts are due to be published online by Neuro-Oncology in September 2026 rather than in a printed abstract book.

The venue is Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome, and the organisers warn attendees to use the official accommodation route because of third-party hotel scams.
