In October 2015 during the meeting in Madrid, the EANS and UEMS Section of Neurosurgery decided to form the European Board of Neurological Surgery (EBNS) and transform the existing exam into the European Board Examination in Neurological Surgery to further increase its importance and general recognition.

The European Board of Neurological Surgery (formerly the Joint Examination Committee of the EANS and UEMS), is responsible for running both Part I (written) and Part II (oral) of the European Board Examination in Neurological Surgery.

The Chair of the European Board of Neurological Surgery in 2016 is Peter Whitfield (UK).
