After careful consideration, and given the current circumstances, the ESOT Executive Committee has decided to hold TLJ 2.0 entirely online, with the dates of the event remaining the same, 15-17 November 2020.
The ESOT Executive Committee believes this is the most appropriate way to allow for an active participation of the community in Europe (and beyond) while ensuring everyone’s safety, especially considering the difficulty in predicting how the COVID-19 pandemic will evolve in the fall. As this decision does not substantially affect the scientific programme or the educational objectives of TLJ 2.0, we are committed to making the necessary adjustments that allow for a smooth transition to the online format, while fully preserving the spirit and the substance of the event.
TLJ 2.0 is particularly well suited to be a fully online event as it was always designed to promote interaction and discussion within the transplantation community well beyond a face-to-face event. While we look forward to meeting in person soon, TLJ 2.0 enables us to continue growing our knowledge and developing collaborations on the most advanced topics in transplantation.
We hope you will join our unique Transplantation Learning Journey 2.0 Online Experience. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with the ESOT Team if you have any questions or concerns via askme@esot.org.
The target audience for TLJ 2.0 includes all fields involved in health care and research with an affiliation in transplantation.
This includes but is not limited to:

Topics of discussion have been selected based on an extensive consultation process among ESOT’s Sections & Committees. These topics are the focus of the workstreams, managed by leaders in the field, who will connect with peers and mentors. It is our goal to build an expanded network, trigger new research, collaboration, exchange and discussion.
The discussion starts in the workstreams and the outcomes are shared and presented at TLJ 2.0.
Workstream Leaders:
ESOT is building on the strengths of the TLJ 2018 experience (cross-fertilisation among different topic and field experts) to launch a completely new project, TLJ 2.0.
The concept of TLJ is LEARNING: learning never stops and emerging stars, expert professionals and opinion leaders need to keep learning to stay on top of their discipline. TLJ 2.0 provides value and produces concrete outcomes for all three of these types of transplantation professionals.
The meeting has a completely new structure now, that leads up to and beyond the face-to-face experience by introducing preparatory pre-meeting work to support consensus workgroups, and pre and post-meeting interaction and discussion among all participants.
Led by ESOT Sections, the TLJ 2.0 programme targets all audiences by including consensus workgroups, small mentoring sessions and keynote lectures, all connected seamlessly by ESOT’s innovative approach to meetings.
Workgroups will develop a series of consensus papers aimed for publications in Transplant International and further dissemination and interaction will be achieved by interactive materials hosted on Transplant Live, the ESOT e-learning platform.
Patients are welcome to attend and will be invited to contribute.
TLJ 2.0 is a comprehensive experience designed to promote discussion before and after the meeting.
