A World-Wide, Innovative, Online Initiative to Bridge the Gaps in Research and Clinical Practice of Male Infertility and Sexual Health.

This editorial presents the GAF, its vision, missions, and organization. The GAF of which you are members was born in 2020 with the aim of conducting research of the highest quality in the field of andrology. It was formalized as the Global Andrology Forum in December 2021. Our work includes new systematic reviews and meta-analyses, scientometric studies and global surveys of clinical practice in andrology. GAF research studies integrate basic science and clinical practice, bridging the gap between researchers and clinicians. GAF also offers educational and academic activities, including scientific meetings, tutorials, online tests, and comprehensive training in research methodology. In addition, GAF strives to provide the best available research and clinical data to improve evidence-based practice in male sexual and reproductive health care, while maintaining a global perspective on the availability of health care and considering the diverse beliefs, value systems and preferences of patients. This editorial sums up who we are and who we will become, a global group of andrologists driven by a single vision: to make global andrology a science and medicine of excellence.
