ESSM Newsletter # 40

Contents Welcome Address At the end of this brilliant 2018, the ESSM looks forward to the New Year and prepares a new set of great activities. The 2019 Ljubljana meeting is already behind the corner and promises to be a very exciting experience: Our host, Dejan Bratus, together with the scientific committee and the executive board are working very hard to fulfill and possibly exceed the high expectancies of all participants, and I’m sure they will make it! Our scientific committee has also other important news or all ESSM members: Our society will stand more and more at the side of each member in taking difficult clinical decisions when guidelines are absent or inconclusive, pro- viding new evidence-based European statements about specific clinical issues. In 2019, the ESSM will be more and more a partner in your training, in your scientific research, in your literature update, in your clinical practice, and will provide you new outstanding meetings. The new year starts under very favorable auspices for all ESSM members: We can’t wait to live the future of Sexual Medicine in Europe!
