MeetingsThe Basic Science Committee of ESOT was founded in 2004 with strong support of the ESOT council. The specific aim of the BSC is to support basic science in transplantation within ESOT by enhancing communication, and education and by rasing the profile and quality of basic science at ESOT meetings.
One of the key strategies of the BSC is to establish a Europe-wide Basic Science Network in Transplantation where inclusion is dependent on the laboratory/group having five basic science publications in peer-reviewed journals during the previous four years. Details of these laboratories together with selected publications, areas of research interests and specific research tecniques and tools available are available as a link on the ESOT web-site.
In support of one of the BSC strategies, ESOT has made available a number of small Travel Grants (€500 per applicant) to support the travel of individuals wishing to visit a European laboratory outside their own country that can offer a specific technique or expertise. Applications for funding should be made to the members of the ESOT Basic Sciences Committee via the ESOT Secretariat.
