Network of AOCE could contribute to the development of ISEThe mission of the International Society of Endocrinology (ISE) is to promote endocrine and metabolic science, education, practice and advocacy worldwide. Around 50 national endocrine societies and 27, 000 representatives belong to the ISE, around 50% of whom are from Asia and Oceania countries. The number of board members in the ISE is proportional to that of membership in each region. Thus, Asian and Oceanian Endocrine societies play an important role in the ISE.
I had served as the president of the Japan Endocrine Society (JES) from 2021 to 2025. During the period, the Korean Endocrine Society (KES) and JES signed the memorandum of understanding, and we just published the Guideline for Cushing disease this year, which were published in Endocrine and Metabolism and Endocrine Journal, the official journals of the KES and JES, respectively. I believe we should extend the collaboration between the KES and JES to other societies in Asian and Oceania Endocrine Society, which will lead to the development of the ISE.
