European Society of EndocrinologyThis year ESE will mark twenty years as the voice for endocrinology in Europe and beyond, through various activities many of which will take place at the European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) in Prague, Czech Republic, in May this year. These include a special celebration during the Welcome Reception, and an exciting symposium centred around endocrinology over the past 20 years and the future ahead of us, with several keynote speakers highlighting major breakthroughs in the field of endocrinology. A digital booklet about ‘A History of ESE – the first 20 Years and looking forward to the next 20’ will be launched at the Congress, authored by many past Presidents and key facilitators in the formation of the Society in 2004-2006.
