What We Do

With around 265 members representing about 30 countries, the Society aims to educate professionals of all grades of expertise and experience and increase awareness of the conditions. 

The Society meets every year at its Annual Scientific Meeting, where the latest research is presented and discussed. All members, including junior professionals and trainees, are encouraged to present their results, adding to global research efforts.

Usually taking place in June or July, meeting locations have reflected our international membership, with host nations including the UK, USA, Germany, The Netherlands, Scandinavia, Belgium, Spain and Israel.. 

The Society works with the Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (ASBAH), the UK organisation for people with spina bifida and / or hydrocephalus, to promote the best interests of those whose lives are affected by the conditions. We also work with similar bodies in other countries.

Multi-disciplinary membership

All international trainees, students and established professionals in any branch of research into hydrocephalus and / or spina bifida are welcome to join.
