One of the gratest honours a European neurosurgeon may have, is to be chosen by the Executive Committee of the E.A.N.S., to give the “European Lecturer”. I would like to thank them for such a kind invitation, to which I hope to repay during the next minutes relating you some of my ideas, based on my personal experience, about what the neurosurgeon of the next century ought to be like. These expereriences are supported by my travelling over more than forty years through European neurosurgery. I remember the first time I took part in these events in Thessalonika, Greece. This situation seemed so distant and impossible to me that I onli permitted myself to think of the way that was ahead of me in order to become a good neurosurgeon, following the guideline of my Master, Professor H.W. Pía, pioneer of this group of advanced neurosurgeons that had an overview of Europe at the right moment, with the suitable scientific basis that have made it possible to get to the present situation. Since then, there have been many attempsts to prove the influence that technical and scientific changes have had on the daily tasks of doctors, neurosurgeons in this case. It’s been more than thirty years now since those days in Thessalonika, and the moment has come to make some reflections and try to motivate, somehow, the new generations of neurosurgeons about the qualities I think must ornate their attitude and behaviour in the next century.
