It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Professor Dominic Pérennou, a distinguished figure in neurorehabilitation who worked at the University of Grenoble, France. A dedicated clinician, researcher and teacher, Professor Pérennou devoted his career to improving the lives of people with neurological injury and disease through compassionate care, rigorous science and inspired teaching.

Professor Pérennou was widely respected for his scholarship in neurorehabilitation and for training generations of clinicians and researchers. He published influential work on functional recovery, balance and mobility after brain injury and was a sought‑after speaker at international meetings. Equally valued was his mentorship: colleagues remember him for his generosity, intellectual curiosity, and steady encouragement of younger professionals.

We at the European Federation of Neurorehabilitation (EFNR) enjoyed a very productive collaboration with Professor Pérennou, most notably during the organization of the EFNR congress held in Lyon in 2023. His collaborative spirit and tireless efforts helped make that meeting a rich forum for scientific exchange and clinical progress across Europe.

Rest in peace, Professor!
