Call for nominations
EPITA – The European Pancreas and Islet Transplant Association- would like to announce a call for nominations for one new Board member.
All ESOT/EPITA affiliates are welcome to send nominations for this position. You may nominate yourself or a colleague. The new EPITA Board Member will hold office for 4 years (2027-2031).
In addition, considering the specialties currently represented on the Board, EPITA encourages applications from nephrologists with expertise in Beta Cell replacement and diabetes. The expectation is that successful candidates will become actively involved in the Association by attending Board meetings, educational events (courses), and the annual meetings, e.g., the EPITA Symposium, the EPITA Specialty Update Symposium at the ESOT Congress. Please note that Board members act as volunteers and thus serve without compensation.
The EPITA Board is strongly committed to principles of diversity and inclusion and promotes balance in geographic and professional representation. Members of traditionally underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
