Euro-ataxia is an international non-profit association whose member organisations work together to help people with progressive ataxia lead their best life. We do this by building a strong organisation that represents people with progressive ataxia throughout Europe.

Our Objectives

  • To drive forward research and treatment of the ataxias.
  • To encourage the free flow of information between members on the latest research.
  • To foster and improve contacts between practitioners interested in the ataxias, and people with ataxia.
  • To investigate social, political and cultural matters connected to the welfare of people with ataxia, and promote and improve the exchange of this information.
  • To promote co-operation on an international level between national ataxia organisations.
  • To raise awareness of ataxia among clinicians, scientists and society.
