Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,
due to the global spread of the COVID-19 virus and its unprecedented challenges, the ESSM Board took the difficult decision to postpone the face to face congress in Rotterdam 2021 to 2022, in the same city. Nevertheless, ESSM, has decided to bring the annual congress to each of you in the form of a virtual experience free of charge, where the Scientific Committee will provide an outstanding program with presentations of the highest level given by leaders and experts in the field of Sexual Medicine including our committed corporate partners, with industry symposia and more.

I suggest signing up for our newsletter to receive all the updates and, if you are not a member yet, to join and support our Society.

I look forward to virtually welcoming all of you in February 2021.

Carlo Bettocchi
ESSM President
