The idea for this book was born during the discussions of JRAAC following certification visits to a number of different neurosurgical departments all over Europe. The members of JRAAC realized recurrent problem s in the structure of training programmes on the one side an many positive solutions on the other side. The idea evolved to compile a manual or practical guide, respectively, how to solve such typical problems. Hence this book is a common effort ofthe members of JRAAC to provide advice and support to those involved in the organisation of neurosurgical education. The new Neurosurgical Training Charter of the UEMS, as presented in Chapter II, defines now a "European Model " to structure a training programme with a clear set of standards and requirements. This is inevitably necessary if we want to move toward a steady improvement of neurosurgical education in Europe. It should be emphasized that this concerns the external structure, the skeleton. The internal structure of a programme, the curriculum, the content of the various training years, the philosophy of a department,
