Dear Colleagues and ESCE members, We are very pleased to announce that the 32nd Conference of European Comparative Endocrinologists (CECE26) will be held in Barcelona (Spain) from September 6th to 10th, 2026. The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) is actively working to organize the event, planning a scientific program with a diverse range of symposia in comparative endocrinology in two parallel sessions, as well as an attractive social program. Barcelona is a global hub of research and innovation and very well communicated. It is a coastal city with a sunny climate and many attractions. The venue will be at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona. A first flyer is attached below, and more information is soon to come, but in the meantime, we ask you to save the date. Please spread the word with your friends and colleagues. Looking forward to seeing you all in Barcelona next year. Encarni Capilla, Chair On behalf of the LOC

Dear ESCE members, We are looking forward to meeting you all this year in Ancona for the next CECE meeting ( https://cece2024.com/ ). Registration for the meeting has already opened. If you are planning to attend, remember that you can benefit from a discount as an ESCE member. However, for that you need to be updated about the payment of your membership fees. On behalf of our Secretary/Treasurer Elisabeth Eppler, I would like to remind you of the importance of paying the Society membership fees, not only for this, but because the payment of the fees is important for the maintenance of the Society. Among others, at this point, the fees will help us provide student grants to attend the meeting. If you have doubts about your payment status do not hesitate to contact her . Best regards, Encarnación Capilla ESCE Vice-President
