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 organisation of the European Congress of Endocrinology. This has become so successful that it is now held annually. ESE also organises a number of postgraduate courses. ESE have four official journals; European Journal of Endocrinology, Journal of Endocrinology, Journal of Molecular Endocrinology and Endocrine-Related Cancer. Between them the journals cover the full spectrum of endocrinology and help to raise the profile of European endocrinology.
