ECAS Symposium at ECE 2023

As part of the programme of the upcoming 2023 European Congress of Endocrinology, 13-16 May 2023 in Istanbul, Turkey, we are organizing an ECAS symposium to showcase the initiatives of ECAS and perspectives from various European countries. Below is a draft programme of the session.

We hope you will be able to join us for this interesting session and we plan to dedicate a part of it to short presentations from the national societies of ECAS. We invite you to submit proposals for a 5-minute presentation from your country, on a topic you consider as relevant for other countries. Topics can vary and, just as an example, could include good practices in organisation of treating endocrine disorders in your country, challenges related to endocrine training, access to expensive drugs in your country, and many other.

In order to submit proposals please respond to ecas@ese-hormones.org with your suggested topic and its short description (one paragraph) by 20 February.

The ECAS Chairs will then select presentations to design a coherent session. The selected presentations will be delivered as part of point 5 of the below programme.
