About the Event
Welcome
ECA2022 represents the most relevant scientific and educational biennal event of the European Academy of Andrology (EAA). This year it will be a special edition because it coincides with the 30-year history of the EAA. Academicians and regular EAA members are going to celebrate this anniversary together with hundreds of andrologists and basic scientists coming from all over the world. As for the previous eleven editions, it will be an excellent forum for presenting cutting-edge basic/translational and clinical research in all areas of Andrology and for discussing about clinical practice related to andrological diseases. ECA2022 will also allow reinforcing our relationship with the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE), the American Society of Andrology (ASA), EAU Section of Andrological Urology (ESAU),ESHRE and the newly established ANDRONET COST action. It will be the place for exchanging ideas for promoting andrology in Europe and outside the old continent and to further intensify our activities related to Male Health Awareness.
Thanks to the support of the Fundacio Puigvert, to which the Barcelona EAA center belongs, this is the second time we held ECA in Barcelona and will follow the 18th edition of the prestigious Andrology Course of Fundació Puigvert which will take place, just prior the ECA Congress, in the morning of the 19th October.. This city is full of architectural masterpieces, history and culture and it is considered as one of the most beautiful cities of the world. We can ensure you that the capital of Catalonia offers unforgettable cultural but also culinary experiences to the visitors and we do hope that the congress attendee will enjoy their free time after the sessions.
We are sure that this congress will be remembered not only for its exceptional scientific content but also for the exceptional venue and the pleasant Mediterranean atmosphere.
On behalf of the European Academy of Andrology we are looking forward to welcome you in Barcelona,

The Program Organizing Committee (POC) proposes an attractive, clinical, basic as well as transitional educational program for the 12th European Congress of Andrology, the leading scientific activity of the European Academy of Andrology (EAA).
Program highlights include:
- The well-established pre-congress course will provide an update on male reproduction through educational lectures by POC members.
-
State-of-the-art lectures (some organized in collaboration with the American Society of Andrology (ASA), the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)) by prominent scientists on cutting-edge research issues such as male contraception, late-onset hypogonadism, foetal germ development as well as reproductive endocrinology during puberty and sperm preservation in boys.
- A new feature of the congress will be the inclusion of meet the expert sessions. Topics include discussion of new WHO as well as EAA guidelines, diagnosis/treatment of male urogenital infections biochemical assessment of androgen deficiency as well as ultrasound evaluation of the male reproductive system.
- Another important new concept will be the introduction of virtual eco-talks that will feature high level international experts across the globe without the need for intercontinental traveling. Selected eco-talks covering issues such as clonal mosaicism in sperm, studies on RNA sequencing profiles in testicular cells from the embryo to the aging male, as well as polygenic risk scores in predicting testis cancer risks.
- Symposia that cover the whole spectrum of basic, clinical, and translational Andrology including:
- Joint sessions that highlight the very successful collaboration between the EAA and the European Society of Andrological Urology (ESAU) section of the European Association of Urology (EAU).
- Presentation of the novel scientific work conducted by the young colleagues through the Network of Young Researchers in Andrology (NYRA) session, 'golden communications' and 'selected oral communications'.
- Finally, announcement of the current research activities in andrology through poster presentations.
The POC does hope that you will enjoy three days full of Andrology and you will return home fully updated on all the essential aspects of andrology.
We hope to see you in Barcelona!

Format
Planning for the programme began in January 2020 and is well underway. The scientific program subcommittee, with input from international advisors from different continents, have put together a comprehensive program that will include all of the current major topics in hand surgery in the scientific programme, as well as some new ones.
We hope this will be a truly international meeting and our choice of plenary sessions would reflect the common pathologies seen worldwide. For this reason, we have chosen "Tendon Disorders of the Hand and Wrist" as the theme of the instructional course that will run throughout the meeting.
In addition, we desire that this meeting would enhance the collaboration between surgeons and therapists. Several parts of the programme would be joint sessions, including the free paper sessions.
Programme format would include interactive case-based debates on contentious issues, workshops and invited lectures from renowned international experts. There are several free paper sessions where successful abstract submissions will be invited for oral or poster presentations.
