Following the exceptionally successful meetings in Boston, Sydney and Vancouver, we would like to welcome you to a city which twenty years after reunification has evolved into one of the most important capitals of Europe. Once the capital of Prussia and leading cultural centre of the 1920s, today the new capital of Germany is characterized by its dazzling modernity and breathtaking architecture. Berlin is young, dynamic and bursting with joie de vivre. Few cities has been shaped to such an extent by history and undergone as much major transformation as Berlin. “Berlin is always in the process of becoming”, remarked historian Karl Scheffler. Even in the 21st century transplantation still is in a process of becoming, too. Therefore, the 24th International Congress of The Transplantation Society will promote the dialogue of experts from around the world. An attractive scientific program will be developed together with the Deutsche Transplantationsgesellschaft (DTG).
The 24th Congress is designed for physicians, surgeons, scientists and organ procurement personnel, who are interested in clinical and research aspects of solid organ, cell and tissue transplantation. The program is developed to encourage the exchange of new scientific and clinical information, and and support an interchange of opinions regarding care and management issues, as well as socioeconomic, ethical and regulatory issues relevant to transplantation.
In addition to the classical types of scientific sessions including plenary sessions, symposia, workshops and poster presentations, we will also offer new types of scientific sessions within the Forum Futurum focusing on Tailored Pharmacotherapy, Imaging and Regenerative Medicine. All of this is designed to develop a highly interactive forum to discuss cutting-edge science in our field.
We therefore cordially invite you and your colleagues together with your friends and family to come to Berlin. Your active participation in the scientific program will be the fundament for a successful event in 2012.

XXXVII ESAO Congress in Skopje
31 March 2010 - 23:07
Skopje is the capital of Macedonia and the centre of the political, cultural and social life. It is a modern, urban city with a history dating more than 2000 years back. Skopje, once called Skupi, over the history was conquered and ruined several times, but always rebuilt again. It has suffered several natural catastrophes, the last being the earthquake in 1963. Some of the monuments from long ago have still remained: the remainings from the old city, the roman architecture, the fortress, the stone bridge, many churches and monasteries, frescoes and carvings from the middle ages, mosques and amams built by the ottomans in the old bazaar. Old Skopje with its very rich treasures is a very attractive tourist destination. It is very well connected by air and land with the rest of the world.
The Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, as the venue of the ESAO Congress in 2010, will provide the atmosphere for a perfect scientific event. You will enjoy “state of the art” presentations and lectures in some of the most attractive fields of medicine. The ESAO Congress 2010 will bring together distinguished clinicians and scientists of biotechnologies and bioengineering from all over the world. They will discuss results from scientific research in all areas of artificial organs. Our aim is to bring together and to foster exchange and collaboration among scientists, clinicians and industrial partners.
Aleksandar Sikole, the Congress President 2010, cordially welcomes you to Skopje to the ESAO 2010 Annual Congress.

18. Jahrestagung der DTG in Berlin 2009
01 July 2009 - 23:20
die Transplantationsmedizin in Deutschland ist in der Zukunft mit einer Vielzahl von Problemen konfrontiert. Basierend auf hervorragenden Ergebnissen wurden in den letzten Jahren die Indikation zur Transplantation zunehmend großzügiger gestellt. Gleichzeitig führt der andauernde Mangel an Organspendern zu einer steigenden Akzeptanz sogenannter marginaler Organe. Neben diesem zentralen Problem sind sicherlich die steigende Zahl von Patienten zur Retransplantation, Langzeitnebenwirkungen der Immunsuppression sowie die Inzidenz von Malignomen dringende Diskussionpunkte.
Daher lade ich Sie recht herzlich zur 18. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Transplantationsgesellschaft unter dem Motto:’Transplantationsmedizin – Neue Herausforderungen bei gesicherter Routine“ nach Berlin ein.
Neben dem wissenschaftlichen Diskurs möchten wir Sie zu einer Diskussion der aktuellen Probleme und Entwicklungen in der Transplantationsmedizin einladen.
Traditionellerweise wird im Rahmen der Tagung das 13. AKTX-Pflegesymposium am Donnerstag und Freitag stattfinden.
Ich freue mich Sie in Berlin begrüßen zu dürfen, einer Stadt die aufgrund ihrer kulturellen, geschichtlichen und internationalen Präsenz zu einem offenen und zukunftsweisenden Gedankenaustausch einlädt. Neben dem wissenschaftlichen Programm hoffen wir Ihnen auch im Rahmen der Abendveranstaltung etwas von der Attraktivität der Stadt vermitteln zu können.

XXXVI ESAO Congress
27 February 2009 - 23:25
The University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC) has a special position among the French Universities. Founded in 1973, one of its duties was to link student training, research and industry. More specifically, UTC pioneered the field of biomedical engineering in France, hosting specialists in solid and fluid biomechanics, biomaterials, artificial organs, physiology, medical signals and images, and further areas. The occasion of the present Congress will allow a unique analysis of the “Past and future roles of artificial organs in engineering for health". We will take advantage of the Jubilé for Prof. M.Y. Jaffrin to review the premises and accomplishments of hemodialysis. We will consider the state of the art of research for the most popular artificial organs (kidney, heart, liver), and the promises of new technologies such as regenerative medicine, micro and nanotechnologies, multiscale and integrated approaches. Our aim is to bring together and to foster exchange and collaboration among scientists, clinicians and industrial partners. Located very close to Paris (70 km away), to international Roissy/Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Beauvais airports (both 40 minutes away), Compiègne is very easy to reach. In the valley of the river "Oise", it is a tourist and resort centre with castles, museums and the Armistice Clearing. The castle was the autumn residence of Emperor Napoleon III. Even before today’s castle was constructed, Compiègne was the preferred summer residence for the monarchs of France, primarily for hunting given its proximity to the nearby forest. We look forward to welcoming you in Compiègne for the 2009 edition of the ESAO annual meeting.

01 June 2006 - 05:01
PhD students, both young physicians and scientists, are encouraged to submit a short letter of motivation and a brief abstract describing their laboratory experiences and PhD project, which has to be sent by e-mail to Dr. Carla C. Baan:
Hands-on-Course Recent developments of in vitro test systems allow us to study anti-donor responses at large in both experimental models and in patient materials. However, to understand the mechanisms underlying biological phenomena in transplantation, knowledge and practical experience of laboratory techniques is required. The hands on training in laboratory techniques aims to teach young doctors and scientists in molecular biology techniques, flow cytometry based techniques, and functional assays including ELIspot. The educational objective of the course is to learn the laboratory techniques (theory and practice) needed for our understanding of immune responses in experimental transplant models and in patients.

2006 ESAO meeting in Umea, Sweden
29 December 2005 - 22:28
The 2006 meeting of the European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) will be held in Umea, which is located in the northern part of Sweden, from 21-24 June. At that time, the country celebrates the longest day, a day with 24 hours daylight.
The program is adapted to this biorhytm phenomenon and will start early in the morning (07.30) and will end each day at 16.00 hours. Professor Stegmayr organized various social and sports events that will start after the scientific sessions, to stimulate young researchers to contact with each other and with the experts in the field. Due to the fact that the 2006 congress takes place rather early in the congress season, the deadline for submission of abstracts will be in February 2006. Detailed information will be provided to you in the Second Announcement, that will be mailed to you within a few weeks. For more information please visit the official webpage.
Umea is a very nice city and can be reached be plane from Stockholm easily. The city is the fasted growing town of Sweden. It has approximately 100,000 inhibitants and 30,000 students. Because many members will combine this congress with a short vacation, Professor Stegmayr has organized an unique post congress trip to the Northcape.
