2023-2024 has been a year of both challenges and transformation for EFORT. In response to a rapidly changing environment, EFORT has recently undergone significant structural and operational changes. These changes will allow to focus on what matters for the future of orthopaedics and traumatology in Europe. EFORT remains committed to adapting to meet the needs of our professional community.
The Board has opted to streamline activities to better align with our core mission. This adjustment impacts how we organise educational programmes and future congresses. Moving forward, EFORT will operate as a leaner organisation, concentrating on key initiatives such as advocacy work at the EU level, The EFORT Annual Congress, EFORT Open Reviews, our flagship journal and the EBOT exam. -
