The European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) is a worldwide association that gathers scientists for supporting tissue & organ research and regeneration by artificial organ technology [1]. It is founded in 1974 in Geneva.
The ESAO working groups are:
1. Bioartificial Organs
2. Heart Support
3. Aphaeresis and Adsorption
4. Tissue Engineering
5. Uremic toxins
6. Albunet
7. Education
8. yESAO
Membership[edit]
Full and Junior membership: the ESAO is acting as a solid ideational scientific platform for those who are living in Europe and beyond it. It encircles also a comprehensive strategy for the eligible promotion of young scientist’s categories, the yESAO – the ESAO Young Researchers’ Initiative. The platform is offering to the yESAO category to getting in contact with the experts in the field, hence creating equal opportunities to be involved in all activities of the organization. The ESAO platform offers to a new category of members – “Group member low income countries” to network and interact with peers and senior researchers, promoting new collaborations and fostering future innovative integrated research. An added value of ESAO membership is the free access to the International Journal of Artificial Organs and reduced fees for members at the annual congresses and schools.
Activities[edit]
Grounded on a robust scientific platform, ESAO is engaging and tailoring its activities to the audience that is composed of researcher, engineers and physicians with an academic, clinical and industrial background. The ESAO is committing to play a pivotal role to encourage and promote research on artificial and bioartificial organs and related areas. Inclusion and diversity, two key elements of ongoing ESAO platform establish and promote the collaboration between scientific institutions and clinics concerned in Europe, and in countries throughout the world. Likewise, the diversity role of institutions such as academia and companies are tide in an optimum collaboration, to responding to demands in various fields of artificial organs research. The ESAO policy is to favor efficient and effective collaboration between groups that hold at least one ESAO member.
The ESAO actively promotes research through its Research Program and Working Groups: ESAO-Bioartificial Organs, ESAO-Heart Support, ESAO-Aphaeresis and Adsorption, ESAO-Tissue Engineering, ESAO- Uremic toxins, ESAO-Education, and yESAO. ESAO is organizing congresses, informational meetings, seminars as well as high level of education “Winter-Schools” and “Summer-Schools”, in which specific topics of general interest for researchers in the field of Artificial Organs and Regenerative Medicine are addressed. The resulting information is disseminated throughout registry reports, published in journals including the IJAO - The International Journal of Artificial Organs,and other educational materials. The organization by its scientific advisory board is awarding the most valuable scientific achievements presented at annual ESAO Congress with “WICHTIG Award” for the best publication in the field sponsored by WICHTIG Editore and “Poster & Innovation Awards” and the “Emil-Buecherl-Award”[1] for lifelong, outstanding achievements in the field of Artificial Organs [2]
