A little bit of history

How We Got Our Start

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.
