European Academy of Andrology Annual Report 2019

摘要

In this report, we summarize our activities during the entire year 2019 and announce of our plans for the 2020. The new Executive Council (elected at the end of 2018) and I are proud of the achievements and looking forward to further growth of the Academy and improving service to the andrology community in Europe and beyond. Our top priority is andrology education, and in 2019, we organized two recurrent and very popular EAA Schools: 3rd EAA School in Ultrasound in Florence and Rome, continuing to the 5th edition in 2020, and 2nd EAA Winter School in Testicular Histology in Zagreb. We also launched the first EAA School in Genetics of Male Infertility, which was successfully organized in Tartu. In March 2020, we will hold another new EAA Andrology School, in Budapest; this one tailored to prepare physicians to pass the examination for the EAA Clinical Andrologist certificate. This course will be held back-to-back with an open meeting on 'Androgen therapies', which will review state-of-the-art of this topic (see the 2020 Event Calendar at the end of the report).
