European Academy of Andrology: Annual Report 2020

Dear Colleagues, We shall never forget 2020. The COVID19 pandemic has profoundly affected our personal and professional lives. The European Academy of Andrology (EAA) was no exception, and we had to cancel several planned activities. Fortunately, before the pandemic struck, we accredited two new EAA training centres; in Riga (Latvia)— directed by Juris Erenpreiss, and in London (UK)— directed by Suks Minhas. I am happy that the EAA network of excellence in andrology has grown. The bad year was framed by two very successful events. In early March, just before the European lockdowns, we launched the EAA Budapest School, combined with examinations for the title of the EAA Clinical Andrologist. In December, the congresses of the EAA, the International Society of Andrology (ISA) and the German Society of Andrology (DGA) were brilliantly transformed into a digital eCongress ‘Andrology 2020’ by the team in Münster, lead by Sabine Kliesch and Stefan Schlatt. This triplecongress was an outstanding success, owing to a great organization and the excellent programme put together by the Programme Organising Committee, cochaired by Aleksander Giwercman (EAA), Lee Smith (ISA) and Hermann M. Behre (DGA). I am very grateful to everyone who contributed to this fantastic event! We delivered on our pledge from the previous year to improve communication and to increase promoting male health issues among the general public. We have improved our website, opened accounts in social media and launched a new Male Health Awareness portal. I owe big thanks to Andrea Sansone for his enormous work on these important tasks. In the absence of meetings, our members published extensively, including several EAA clinical guidelines and multicentre studies that appeared in our journal Andrology. I thank the authors and coordinators for their work and encourage all members to read these important articles. I also gratefully acknowledge the Chief Editor of Andrology, Manuela Simoni, for her hard work and dedication. In December, we held our firstever virtual EAA General Assembly (eGA) and reviewed our activities, which are summarized in this report. We have updated the EAA Statutes, facilitated the membership rules and lowered membership fees for the youngest and oldest members. Some changes in the Executive Council were announced: Frank Tüttelmann will have to leave the Treasurer post in early 2021, in order to run the new Institute of Reproductive Genetics. On behalf of the Council, I would like to thank Frank and his assistant, Nadja Rotte, for their great service to the EAA. We shall start the new year by setting up a professional office and partial renewal of the EAA Executive Council and Committees. The top priorities for 2021 include adapting educational activities to the changed conditions, expanding membership and research support, and strengthening our promotion of public awareness of male health issues.
