Europe represents true diversity, with cultural, linguistic and geopolitical variation spanning a large geographical area. Politics for many of its 750 million inhabitants revolves around the European Union (EU) and its 27 member states. The overarching goal of the EU is to promote peace and the values of the union (inclusion, tolerance, justice, solidarity and non-discrimination).EFORT was created to connect orthopaedic associations across Europe, fostering relationships between member countries that celebrated diversity and facilitated the exchange of knowledge. Whilst the global landscape changes and politics attempts to interfere in how we live our lives, it is important to remember that a strong organization is a diverse one that evolves over time.Various initiatives exist across the global landscape to support diversity in terms of culture; gender; black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups; disability groups; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (or questioning) and others (LGBTQ+); and the 'ageing' surgeon. This article explores the creation of some of these initiatives and how they have been supported by different orthopaedic organizations. Cite this article: 2020;5:743-752.

欧洲呈现出真正的多样性，其文化、语言和地缘政治差异覆盖了大片地理区域。对于其7.5亿居民中的许多人来说，政治围绕着欧盟（EU）及其27个成员国展开。欧盟的首要目标是促进和平与联盟的价值观（包容、宽容、正义、团结和非歧视）。欧洲骨科学会（EFORT）的创立旨在连接欧洲各地的骨科学会，促进成员国之间的关系，这些国家崇尚多样性并推动知识交流。尽管全球形势不断变化，政治试图干预我们的生活方式，但重要的是要记住，一个强大的组织是一个随着时间推移不断发展的多元化组织。全球各地存在各种举措，以支持文化、性别、黑人和少数族裔（BAME）群体（黑人、亚洲人和少数族裔）、残疾群体、女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿（或疑问者）及其他群体（LGBTQ+）以及“老龄”外科医生方面的多样性。本文探讨了其中一些举措的创建以及它们如何得到不同骨科学会组织的支持。引用本文：2020；5：743 - 752。DOI：10.1302/2058 - 5241.5.200022。
