History

An early predecessor organisation of the ESE was the Committee of the Acta Endocrinologica Countries (CAEC), which founded Acta Endocrinologica (Copenhagen), later renamed European Journal of Endocrinology, in June 1948. It also organised the Acta Endocrinologica Congresses, the first of which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 22–25 August 1954. This series of congresses gave way to the first European Congress of Endocrinology in 1987, when the European Federation of Endocrine Societies (EFES), an umbrella organisation of national societies for endocrinology in Europe, was founded.[2] On this basis, the ESE was officially launched on January 1, 2006, following a consultation process with EFES member organisations.[3]
