European Society for the Study of Tourette Syndrome
History of ESSTS
ESSTS (European Society for the Study of Tourette Syndrome) was originally established in 2000 in Copenhagen by Prof. Mary Robertson and others. The inaugural meeting took place at UCL in 2001 and invited clinicians from around Europe assembled to share experience.
The organisation went through a quiet period and was reformed in 2008 at the Italian Neurological Society meeting in Bari, Italy
