The Japan Endocrine Society
The Japan Endocrine Society (Representative Director: Yoshihiro Ogawa) will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026.
Since its establishment in 1925, the society has led the development of endocrinology in Japan. In this milestone year, we will hold a 100th-anniversary ceremony in June 2026 in Kyoto, the birthplace of the society.
At the same time, we will hold "The 22nd International Congress of Endocrinology (ICE2026)" and "The 99th Annual Meeting of the Japan Endocrine Society (JES2026)," providing an international academic exchange platform where researchers and clinicians from Japan and abroad can gather. Through public lectures, we will also disseminate the latest knowledge on endocrinology and health to the general public in an easy-to-understand manner.
In this release, we would like to invite members of the press to a press conference and on-site coverage.
