Dear Young Members,

We are excited to announce that applications for the 2025 EFAS Travelling Fellowship will remain open until 20th January 2025, with the deadline extended by a few extra days to ensure everyone has the chance to apply.

The Scientific Committee is looking for experienced orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeons committed to teaching and education to join the 8-member-Scientific-Committee team.

We are excited to announce the establishment of the new EFAS Humanitarian Aid Committee. This committee aims to extend EFAS's reach beyond our regular activities and contribute to humanitarian efforts in regions where foot and ankle care is often under-resourced.

Dear EFAS Members,

It is a great honor and joy for me to serve as your President of EFAS.
I experience EFAS as a large family where each of us has our place and importance.

In recent years, EFAS has achieved a leading position within the international "Foot and Ankle Community." Today, it is recognized as the most dynamic and largest international foot and ankle society worldwide. (...)

Manfred Thomas

EFAS President (2024-2026)

Dear all,
 

It has been an honor to serve as EFAS President for the past two years, and I sincerely thank you for your trust. EFAS has grown into a large family with more than 6,000 members and an active educational program. The recent congress in Brussels also demonstrated that we are a vibrant organization. We had a strong turnout, with attendance increasing by more than 30%, showing that our message resonates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Manuel Monteagudo and the entire Scientific Committee for their dedication, as well as our MCO team, whose efforts were essential to the success of our initiatives.

Kris Buedts

EFAS Past-President (2022 - 2024)
