Oslo 22-23 May 2025 3rd Nordic Status Epilepticus Meeting (3rd NSEM)

In collaboration with both national and Nordic colleagues our research group ERGO arranged the third NSEM meeting in Oslo, bringing together over 100 in-person and over 200 digital participants from 20 countries. The overarching theme was “Time To Control - from basics to the Clinic in Status Epilepticus" with focus on Early Treatment and addressed one of the most urgent and life-threatening neurological emergencies.


The meeting featured high-quality presentations and cutting-edge discussions, with critical contributions from leading national and international experts. It was both intellectually stimulating and deeply motivating to witness the collaborative spirit focused on advancing care for status epilepticus patients.

We are grateful for the inspiring contributions from leading experts from the Nordic Countries including Christoph Patrick Beier, Johan Zelano, Reetta Kalviainen, Sandor Beniczky, Ronny Wickström and Leena Kämppi. In addition, we had several well-known international speakers of the highest caliber: Simon Shorvon, Eugen Trinka, and Markus Reuber making this a success. There were also excellent talks from members of our own research group and from OUH including Kjell Heuser, Hild Flatmark Sødal, Morten Horn and Ingrid Hustad.

Special thanks to Desitin and Gro Ellen Albrigtsen for the organization and support that made this hybrid event run seamlessly.

This event not only strengthened our Nordic and International collaboration but also reinforced the urgency of timely intervention in status epilepticus. Here's to continued progress and partnership in improving outcomes for patients!
