The creation of the GDR Vertige made it possible to regroup within a single and visible entity, a multidisciplinary community, often dispersed and not very visible. Thanks to the various actions of the GDR Vertige (thematic school, annual conference), the various components of the neuro-otology community have learned to meet, to know each other, to exchange on their complementary role with the patient and to launch interdisciplinary research projects bringing together research teams, clinicians, vestibular and industrial physiotherapists.
