NEW EU-EYE WEBSITE
EU-EYE, which was officially launched during the XXXIII Congress of the ESCRS in Barcelona, Spain, now has a new website: www.eueye.org
EU-EYE was established after nine European subspecialty ophthalmology societies decided to join forces in order to raise political and public awareness of ophthalmology and secure increased funding for vision research.
The members are ESCRS, EURETINA, EGS, EVER, EEBA, EPOS, EuCornea, EASDec and EVI. “We decided to pool our efforts in order to have better visibility and better performance, and also to focus on broader issues rather than focus on specific eye diseases,” said EU-EYE founding president Prof Thierry Zeyen, of the EGS.
Prof Einar Stefánsson, EURETINA, is the current EU-EYE president. EU-EYE is working around three main themes: firstly, increasing and sustaining political awareness for ophthalmic subspecialties; secondly, raising the profile of ophthalmology within EU research funding; and thirdly, gathering and disseminating information among stakeholders in the field and at political level.
Since its launch, EU-EYE has liaised with stakeholders to identify possible partners already active in Brussels.
