About ELPAT

The European platform on Ethical, Legal and Psychosocial Aspects of Organ Transplantation (ELPAT) is a section of the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT). ELPAT was founded in April 2007, during the first ELPAT congress in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

ELPAT membership represents expertise on ethical, legal and psychosocial aspects of organ transplantation in Europe. The aim of ELPAT is to facilitate the European research area in this field of science, and to bring continuity and progress in the dialogue on the complex issues of organ transplantation ethics. Through this, ELPAT aims to contribute to the solution of discrepancies between European countries and formulates, amongst others, European guidelines on ethical, legal and psychosocial aspects of organ transplantation.

Activities
ESOT invites those who take an interest in ELPAT’s activities to join its network as an active member. At this moment there are 98 experts from 25 countries represented in six working groups.
