The ESE Young Endocrinologists and Scientists (EYES) Committee invites the early careers groups of national societies involved in ECAS (ESE Council of Affiliated Societies) to submit expressions of interest to host the EYES Annual Meeting in the next respective year.

The EYES Annual Meeting (‘the EYES Meeting') is an ESE meeting which is organised by the EYES Committee. The EYES Annual meeting is managed by the selected host National Society’s early career group who form a Local Organising Committee (LOC).  The National Society takes responsibility for the overall delivery, management and financial support of the course, via the LOC.

The information below sets out the meeting structure and requirements from ESE and the EYES Committee for 2026.

The EYES Annual Meeting combines the latest cutting-edge basic, clinical, translational and pre-clinical research, encouraging scientific networking and opportunities for collaboration in a unique and friendly environment.
