🤝 Stronger Together: Recent ECAS Collaborations
The European Society of Endocrinology Council of Affiliated Societies (ECAS) continues to strengthen collaboration across Europe, bringing together national endocrine societies to advance research, education, and clinical practice.
In mid-March, a successful Early Career Clinical Course in Endocrinology took place in Florence, organised by the Italian Association of Clinical Endocrinologists in collaboration with ESE. The course welcomed over 50 endocrinologists under 40 years of age, including participants from across Europe. Renowned European and Italian experts delivered clinically focused sessions, while attendees actively engaged in group discussions and teamwork on real-life clinical cases, creating a dynamic and interactive learning environment.
Simultaneously, in Weimar at the 69th Congress of the German Society for Endocrinology (DGE), ESE President Wiebke Arlt co-chaired a symposium on ESE Guidelines and EndoCompass. Three key ESE clinical guidelines; Revised ESE Clinical Practice Guideline for the management of aggressive pituitary tumours and pituitary carcinomas, ESE Clinical Practice Guidelines on the management of adrenal incidentalomas, and ESE Clinical Guideline: Diagnosis and therapy of glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency. The guidelines were presented by their co-authors Gérald Raverot, Martin Fassnacht and Felix Beuschlein highlighting the latest evidence-based recommendations and supporting clinicians in everyday practice.
Earlier in March, at the BES SfE Meeting in Harrogate, Professor Arlt presented the EndoCompass research roadmap project—a collaborative initiative with the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology. EndoCompass is designed to identify priority areas in endocrine and paediatric research, support cross-European collaboration, and guide funding strategies for specific research needs in eight specialist areas of endocrine health and disease.
