ESA/IPSEN International Travel Grant Award. Posted: 12 August 2009 No ESA Scholarship or Post-Doctoral Awards in 2010Regrettably, ESA Council has decided that the Society
is not in a position to offer new Higher Degree or Post-Doctoral
awards to commence in 2010. The awards are funded from income of the
Society's
investments and the global financial crisis has altered our
funding projections for 2010. However, the 3-year awards that commenced
in
2008 and 2009 will still be supported, and we hope to be
able to offer new awards to commence in 2011.

It will act as a forum for communication with international cognate societies, and it will help organise meetings and sessions, usually in conjunction with either meetings of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia or international pituitary groups and societies. The group is very keen to include interested members from other specialties, in particular, endocrinology, neuropathology and neuro-ophthalmology. I have agreed to act as an Interim Convenor of the group, and I would be delighted if you would participate in the Pituitary Special Interest Group. I would also be grateful if you would forward this invitation on to other members of your societies/discipline.

medication was later withdrawn after the journal adopted
some unusual editorial strategies to avoid publication. Posted: 9 October 2008 ESA Membership Fees IncreasingAs reported in our April 2008 newsletter,
ESA's financial position has been affected by the turmoil in the markets
this
year and our investment portfolio has
decreased in
value.
We do not wish to decrease activities such
as awards and meetings, but we do need to
safeguard our viability. Council has therefore
decided that an increase in subscriptions is
appropriate.
