Transplantation is at a turning point with the necessity to open doors and include other disciplines such as organ reconstruction and regeneration, mechanical assisted devices and different categories from bio-hybrid technologies to biomedical engineering. This is why we need contemplate a new and reimagined approach to patients, treatments and the professionals of the field. This event continues and reinforces ESOT as the main platform for connecting the research and academic community with patients, European policymakers, and Industry. The Congress will cover all organs related clinical aspects and transplant techniques: from basic to advanced as well as innovative studies. The Congress overarching theme indicates a special focus on the different technological advances and applications in organ regeneration and cell therapy that can rapidly and cost effectively lead us to an even better care for patients in need of organ function replacement. The Congress will feature its usual innovative and entertaining format, which includes the latest technologies for presentations and interactive poster sessions. One of the most exciting aspects of attending an ESOT conference is the people you’ll meet. ESOT invites and attracts speakers, delegates and global experts to deliver high level plenary overviews but also keynote addresses on inspiring scientific topics relevant to our field. The ESOT Congress 2021 will be enriched by a variety of side events, workshops, consensus conferences and work meetings to promote the interaction amongst all stakeholders, connect researchers and academics with industry partners, all working together to address the needs and create opportunities for transplantation in the next 5-10 years.
