1. Introduction The Federation of Orthopaedic and Trauma Trainees in Europe (FORTE), was founded during the EFORT Congress of 2005, in Lisbon (Portugal). Since then numerous Presidents have strived to achieve FORTE ultimate goals – improvement of orthopaedic educational standards, enabling learning opportunities and promotion of colleagues network: 2006: Marina van Rhee (NL) 2007: Marina van Rhee (NL) 2008: Dirk-Jan Hofstee (NL) 2009: Dirk-Jan Hofstee (NL) 2010: Michiel Janssen (NL) 2011: Enis Guryel (UK) 2012: Bram Hentaneer (NL) 2013: Nikolaos Paschos (GR) 2014: Gazi Huri (TR) 2015: João Vide (PT) 2016: João Vide (PT) I have the privilege to be re-elected as President and thus consolidate the amazing projects we have developed recently. Together, this new FORTE Board, can make a real difference for the future, setting new standards, that future FORTE generations will keep developing, long after we are gone. This document sets all the projects and goals for this year and acts as a guide to all our Board members. New developments FORTE is still searching for the best way to represent every trainee and young orthopaedic surgeon in Europe. Thus, in our last General Assembly we have created an individual membership status. This brings us closer to all members and enables a better representation. Another change is our head office, now located in Portugal, where we have a FORTE staff support, which allow us to be more rigorous and effective:
- Accountant: Pedro Calheiros ([email protected]) - Secretary: Clara Alves ([email protected])
Our recent Standing Committees are giving their first results. Social Media & Communications Committee has increased activity exponentially – Facebook, Twitter and Website are updated frequently and have increasing traffic by the month. Orthopaedics Today

Newsletter has received frequent articles from FORTE and now we have a new project already launched – the FORTE newsletter. The FORTE book series is another long expect project, that will see the light by late 2016. It is with great expectation that we will see the launch the first volume of our Book Series! Last but not least, our first own Educational event – the first European Orthopaedic Summer School, the FORTE Summer School 2016. This exciting project as gathered the scientific support of EFORT, EORS, ESSKA, Eurospine, FESSH, EHS, EFAS, EPOS and EMSOS, together with the participation of 20 different countries. It’s a true European project that will assist Ortho & Trauma trainees in a unique way! Relaxing, learning and connecting in a wonderful setting is what we seek. FORTE welcomes everyone in the Federation! No financial benefit comes from the positions one takes in the board. Benefits come from networking with experts, residents and institutions throughout Europe and from felling of making things a bit better. Completing projects and delivering work is what makes these positions meaningful, but friendship is what unites us and what makes them joyful. In the following pages you will learn about our Board, their tasks, and how FORTE operates. Please don’t miss out reading our Constitution and if you still have questions, refer to one of the ExCom members.
