President’s Newsletter (Continued)

A new clinical and scientific forum will be integrated in to the official website and become, I hope, a very effective platform for discussing scientific matters and finding solutions to evaluate and manage cases. This online service will be open to members and colleagues throughout the world and will be available for further developments dependent on user needs.

The Politzer Society will continue be actively present in the “real world' with its biannual meeting. In this regard the last Meeting that was held in London was agreat success. Its scientific level was uniquely high and the Social Program was unforgettable. I wis to cordially thank to Alec O'Connor for his efforts and success on the Meeting. Now we ar elooking forward for the Politzer Society Meeting in Athens. The first announcement takes place in this web page and the details will follow soon.

Now it is time to enter into the 'virtual world'. This will allow the knowledge and expertise to shared worldwide with a click of a mouse! In this regard Politzer Society is looking forward for a close cooperation between the LION Foundation.. As the communication systems gets more practical and widespread the e-learning systems will increase it dominance in our life. We are looking forward for the three main scientific events; two videoconferences that will be broadcasted mainly from Istanbul and Tubingen and will be supported by other cities in Europe during 2010 and the traditional biannual Politzer Society Meeting that will take place in Athens in 2011.
Our member database is now updated and we are encouraging all members to pay their dues in order to get the free subscription of Otology and Neurotology. All the information is already present in the website and als being announced by the Newsletters.
The Newslletters are the new tools that will serve for reaching to the otlogy world. The newsletters are planned to be published virtually bimonthly. You will find the news from the Society as well as other information for the otology world.
