The activities of the Society are centred around its four main pillars:  GESEA Educational Programme  ESGE Annual Congress  ESGE Journal - Facts, Views & Vision in ObGyn  Science In its policy to offer a European Platform, the ESGE has established specific Cooperate Membership agreements with several national endoscopic societies or endoscopic divisions of gynaecological societies, joining the individual members in respect of the national identity. The YEP, or Young Endoscopist Platform, represents a group of enthusiastic and dynamic young gynaecological surgeons. It is a fast-growing part of the ESGE structure and focuses on networking and professional development initiatives for future endoscopists.
