The European Tissue Repair Society (ETRS)

 The European Tissue Repair Society (ETRS) invites you to its annual Congress from the 15th to the 17th September 2010 in Gent, Belgium!

20th Anniversary Celebration

The theme will be:

 “Basic and Clinical Research:   Building Blocks in the Puzzle of Tissue Repair”

In 2010, ETRS celebrates its 20th Congress and the programme promises to be both stimulating and interesting. ETRS is developing in new and different directions. Please have a look at the programme.

Each year the annual congress rotates to a different European city. This time, we will organize the congress in the historical city of Gent.

The meeting will focus on:

·         Tissue engineering

·         Burns

·         Scar tissue formation

·         Fibrosis in systemic disease

·         Infection

·         Stem Cells

·         Tissue regeneration in musculoskeletal tissue

·         Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis

And for the first time two new topics, which have not been presented by ETRS before:

·         Wound Photography

·         Smart Textile

Moreover, laboratory techniques will be demonstrated in a so-called lab kitchen session, organised in collaboration with the newly established junior committee of the ETRS.

It is an opportunity to sponsor this important congress, to be held in cooperation with the Belgian Wound Healing Organisations: Afiscep, CNC, and WCS.

Friday September 17th, there will be parallel sessions for clinicians in cooperation with National Wound Healing Associations.
