About ESE

The European Society of Endocrinology has been created to promote for the public benefit research, education and clinical practice in endocrinology by the organisation of conferences, training courses and publications, by raising public awareness, liaison with national and international legislators, and by any other appropriate means.

Major activities include the organization of the European Congress of Endocrinology. This has become so successful that it is now held annually. ESE also organizes a number of postgraduate courses. ESE also publishes the scientific journal European Journal of Endocrinology through the Society of the European Journal of Endocrinology and has three other official journals, Journal of Endocrinology, Journal of Molecular Endocrinology and Endocrine-Related Cancer.
