11th Living Donor Abdominal Organ Transplantation Conference – Endorsed by ESOT

Workshop for Young Professionals in Transplantation on Living Organ Donation on 29 August in Rome, Italy

in combination with the 11^th Living Donor Abdominal Transplant Conference on 29-31 August in Rome, Italy

On Thursday 29 August, the conference will kick off with the 3^rd Workshop on Living Donation that precedes the main meeting and focuses on Young Professionals in Transplantation (YPT). The first two successful editions of this Workshop were held in Matera and Gubbio, Italy.

The concept of the Workshop aims to attract the younger generation of transplant surgeons and physicians to discuss a variety of aspects/exchange of ideas regarding living organ donation in the presence of senior faculty from Europe, USA and Asia. Following the Workshop, participants are invited to attend the subsequent main conference on 30 and 31 August 2024 for free.

To minimise financial hurdles, we have found funding to support 20 YPTs regarding travel and accommodation with €500 per person for participants aged <40 years. From all applicants 20 participants will be selected by the Workshop Organising Committee based on the motivation letter and brief CV to receive a Travel Grant to be reimbursed after presenting him/herself on-site. The appointed PCO, MITCongressi, has arranged affordable accommodation in Rome at a special rate per night per room. Participants will have free access to the Workshop and the 11^th International Living Donor Abdominal Organ Transplant Conference, with two full days of presentations and discussions. Participants must pay the official event dinner fee if they want to attend.

YPTs who decide not to apply for a Travel Grant are welcome to attend the Workshop for free but still must notify us of their attendance and arrange their own accommodation and registration for the Living Donor Abdominal Organ Transplant Conference.
