Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Colleagues,

It is a special honor and pleasure for us to welcome you to this year’s annual meeting of the Austrian Society for Transplantation, Transfusion and Genetics – “AUSTROTRANSPLANT” in Schladming.

The organizing committee is pleased to offer you, once again this year, exciting insights into current developments and topics in the field of transplantation – both in terms of solid organ transplantation and stem cell transplantation – in a compact three-day period.

The theme of this year’s annual meeting is “Transcending Boundaries: Unveiling the Shared Knowledge and Experience in Transplantation.” This theme reflects the ongoing exchange and collaboration across geographical, cultural, and disciplinary boundaries. Through increased dialogue and knowledge sharing, we can jointly develop innovative solutions and new perspectives on the challenges of transplantation.

The growing discrepancy between the demand for organs and the available supply challenges us to continuously research and develop creative solutions. There will be opportunities to address significant developments in plenary sessions and to engage in in-depth discussions in topic-specific parallel sessions. We will also once again offer poster sessions, providing a space for intensive exchange and discussion.

A particular concern of the Society is the promotion of young researchers in the field of transplantation. For this reason, several prizes will be awarded during the meeting, which will be presented in a separate Young Researcher session. Another highlight of the AUSTROTRANSPLANT Annual Conference is this year’s nursing conference, which is specifically geared toward nurses from transplant centers. The goal is to create a platform for mutual exchange and the further development of collaboration.

Finally, we would like to sincerely thank the industry for their generous support, without which the conference would not be possible.

The organizing committee cordially welcomes you to Schladming and hopes to welcome you to the AUSTROTRANSPLANT Annual Conference in October.

Robert Sucher (Conference President)
