It was decided that European congresses will be organized every second year, and a collaborative plenary and free communication session (with or without practical/hands on sessions) together with the European Board and College of Obstetricians and Gynecology in their bi-annual conference.
Furthermore there is a good collaboration with IUSTI-Europe (the European branch of the International Union of Sexually Transmitted Infections) . This encompasses collaboration to compose European guidelines on diagnosis and management of genital infections, provide speakers for IUSTI conferences, organize practical and 'meet the expert' courses, organize combined meetings....
Once every 5 years, an international meeting will be organized outside Europe. This meeting will be co-organized with other Societies, and take place in an area where we can combine science and maximal social contact.
