  •  erecting commissions and task forces with clear defined tasks;
  •  promoting collaboration between surgical or medical organizations, nationally as well as internationally;
  •  acting as an advisory board by supplying advices to third parties about surgical problems with an ethical, economical or political dimension;
  •  publishing a journal;
  •  maintaining a website.
