The European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) is a worldwide association that gathers scientists to support tissue and organ research and regeneration using artificial organ technology. [1]. It was founded in 1974 in Geneva.
The ESAO working groups are:
1. Bioartificial Organs
2. Heart Support
3. Apheresis and Adsorption
4. Tissue Engineering
5. Uremic Toxins
6. Albunet
7. Education
8. yESAO
Membership
Full and Junior membership: the ESAO serves as a strong, intellectual scientific platform for members in Europe and worldwide. It also has a comprehensive strategy for promoting young scientists, the yESAO – the ESAO Young Researchers' Initiative. The platform provides opportunities for yESAO members to interact with experts in the field, ensuring equal participation in all organization activities. The ESAO also offers membership to a new category – "Group members from low-income countries" – enabling networking and interaction with peers and senior researchers, promoting new collaborations and fostering future innovative integrated research. ESAO membership includes free access to the International Journal of Artificial Organs and reduced fees for members at annual congresses and schools.
Activities
Based on a strong scientific foundation, ESAO tailors its activities to researchers, engineers, and physicians with academic, clinical, and industrial backgrounds. ESAO plays a key role in encouraging and promoting research on artificial and bioartificial organs and related fields. Inclusion and diversity are central to ESAO's platform, fostering collaboration between scientific institutions and clinics in Europe and worldwide. Similarly, the diverse roles of academia and industry are fostered in an optimal collaborative environment, addressing the needs of various areas of artificial organ research. ESAO encourages efficient and effective collaboration between groups with at least one ESAO member.
ESAO actively promotes research through its Research Program and Working Groups: ESAO-Bioartificial Organs, ESAO-Heart Support, ESAO-Apheresis and Adsorption, ESAO-Tissue Engineering, ESAO-Uremic Toxins, ESAO-Education, and yESAO. ESAO organizes congresses, informational meetings, seminars, and advanced educational "Winter Schools" and "Summer Schools," addressing specific topics of general interest to researchers in artificial organs and regenerative medicine. Information is disseminated through registry reports, publications in journals including the IJAO – The International Journal of Artificial Organs, and other educational materials. The Scientific Advisory Board awards the "WICHTIG Award" for the best publication in the field, sponsored by WICHTIG Editore, "Poster & Innovation Awards", and the "Emil-Buecherl-Award" for outstanding lifelong achievements in the field of Artificial Organs.
