The 4th European Japanese Joint Conference on Stroke Surgery (formerly Swiss Japanese Joint Conference on Cerebral Stroke Surgery) was held on July 4th–6th, this time in Helsinki, Finland. The meeting was chaired by Prof. Juha Hernesniemi from Helsinki and Prof. Tetsuya Tsukahara from Kyoto, and Prof. Yasuhiro Yonekawa from Zurich was the Honorary Guest of the meeting. During those 3 days of Arctic Finnish Summer at its peak, the participants presented papers on aneurysm surgery and management of subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke, arterial dissection, intracranial arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, and microneurosurgical bypass and revascularization techniques, among other topics.

The organizers of the meeting wish to express their gratitude to the Japanese M
