            ″ To enhance advocacy issues in a European perspective

            ″ To promote ophthalmology and the SOE in general

            ″ To create a forum to enhance collaboration with the AAO and the Pan-American Academy of Ophthalmology

The Stockholm module is intended in a concise format to address substance matter relevant to the overall aims and to offer participants to develop skills of importance when leading a professional society nationally and internationally.
