A little bit of history

The BSNR was founded in 2014, driven by the initiative from Dr. Luc Van Calster who became the first BSNR president.

Sadly, shortly after founding the BSNR, Luc Van Calster passed away. In his memory, every BSNR symposium, the Luc Van Calster Award is awarded to a person who takes initiative in driving collaboration between professionals and people in the field of Neurorehabilitation.
