The European Stroke Organisation (ESO) is a pan-European society of stroke researchers and physicians, national and regional stroke societies and lay organisations that was founded in December 2007.
The aim of the European Stroke Organisation (ESO) is to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke by changing the ways that stroke is viewed and treated. This can only be achieved by professional and public education, and by making institutional changes.

The quality registry will be an eCRF containing approximately 25 questions. The questions require either multiple choice or short string answers. Some questions become visible based on answers to previous questions. All data can be stored in a text-based format. A prototype utilizing OpenClinica has been developed by our group as proof of concept.

The ESO's major objective is to improve stroke care in Europe by providing medical education to healthcare professionals and the lay public in Europe. By offering best practice approaches, the ESO's goal is to harmonise stroke management in Europe. The ESO focuses on European level projects.
