Major activities include the organisation of the annual European Congress of Endocrinology.
ESE has three official journals: Endocrine Connections and Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, which are published by Bioscientifica, and the European Journal of Endocrinology, which is published by Oxford University Press.
Ordinary membership is open to researchers, clinicians and students in the field of endocrinology and hormonal systems.
Honorary membership is for persons of special distinction in endocrinology or who have performed outstanding service to the Society.
