The aim of the Education Committee (EC) is to coordinate ESOT’s efforts to advance multidisciplinary education for transplant professionals at all career levels and to contribute to their professional development.
The Basic Science Committee promotes scientific issues and transplantation research within ESOT. An active basic science community and an efficient translation of innovation into the clinic are crucial for the future of transplantation medicine.
The European Transplant Allied Healthcare Professionals (ETAHP) reaches out to allied healthcare professionals throughout Europe in order to ensure the best care possible for all transplant patients, with the aim to optimize patient outcomes.
The Young Professionals in Transplantation (YPT) is the Network for Junior Transplant professionals of ESOT, representing all young transplant clinicians and scientists who are beginning a career in transplantation and organ donation.
The mission of ECTORS is to provide a forum for discussing and stimulating novel developments in the fields of cellular therapies in organ transplantation, organ regeneration and generation of new organs from stem cells and biomaterials.
ECTTA is the forum for experience exchange on treatment of patients with end-stage heart and lung failure. Our aim is to improve outcomes for the patients.
EDTCO aims to support health care professionals to provide clinically effective programmes on organ and tissue donation, procurement and transplantation.
EKITA is the Organ Expert Section of ESOT on kidney transplantation in Europe, providing a forum for kidney transplantation professionals to exchange scientific information and views aimed at providing the best service to European patients .
The European Liver and Intestine Transplant Association (ELITA), previously known as the European Liver Transplant Association (ELTA), is a section of ESOT. Its membership represents the expertise on liver and intestinal transplantation in Europe.
ELPAT is a European platform that brings continuity and progress in European research and dialogue on "Ethical, Legal and Psychosocial Aspects of organ Transplantation". ELPAT currently consists of over 160 experts from more than 25 European countries.
EPITA is established to provide a forum for those working in the field of pancreas and islet of Langerhans transplantation or any other alternative form of beta cell replacement in Europe, to exchange scientific information and views related primarily to providing the best service for patients in Europe requiring pancreas or islet transplantation.
VCA has opened a new era in the field of transplantation, reconstructive and restorative surgery. This Section brings together 10 representatives of major European teams at the forefront in this field.
Lyon will host the congress of the French-speaking Society of Transplantation from December 13 to 16, 2022. Since the opening of this medical-surgical chapter at the end of the 19th century, the Hospices Civils de Lyon has maintained a long tradition of innovation in the field of organ transplantation. From the development of the vascular suture to the first transplantations of vascularized composite grafts; from the development of anti-lymphocyte serum to the development of regenerative medicine techniques (reconstructed skin and cornea, islet transplantation within the framework of the GRAGIL network). In addition to this clinical requirement, a translational research activity exploring the mechanisms of rejection and ischemia/reperfusion phenomena has recently been added.
The hosting of the SFT annual meeting will be an opportunity to bridge the gap between past successes and current problems and to outline the future promises of transplantation. This is the common thread that has guided the development of the programme: a “hall of fame” of the pioneers of transplantation, a reflection on the consequences of the aging of recipients, conducted in collaboration with the French Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology, plenary lectures reviewing the latest clinical and scientific innovations, thematic workshops summarising the practice by organ, without forgetting the sessions dedicated to the donation and the presentation of your best abstracts.
