Consensusmeetings aim at evaluating medical practice in a specific area and at establishing recommendations for optimal practice. Several (board) members of the BSGMS participate, either as an expert or as a member of the organizing committee.
Neurologists or healthcare professionals with specific interest in MS are welcome to attend the meeting.
The organisation’s non-profit purpose is to encourage and develop the study and treatment of multiple sclerosis, by means of the various scientific-research disciplines available, in particular clinical research, biology, biochemistry, electrophysiology, immunology, virology, genetics, epidemiology and anatomopathology. To achieve this objective, a close cooperation has been established with the Belgian Charcot Foundation, which was founded within the Belgian Study Group for Multiple Sclerosis to collect funds for research.

BELTRIMS (Belgian Treatment in Multiple Sclerosis) :
Le but de ce registre est de collecter des données, en situation réelle, sur la tolérance et l’efficacité des médicaments immunomodulateurs, de détecter à court et long terme des effets secondaires inconnus ou sous-évalués et d’étudier les effets éventuels des médicaments concernés en cas de grossesse.
Het doel van het register is het verzamelen van real life data over de tolerantie en de werkzaamheid van de immunomodulerende behandelingen, om zo op korte en lange termijn nog niet ontdekte bijwerkingen in het licht te stellen en de eventuele effecten op zwangerschap te bestuderen.
