15th Annual Meeting of the Swiss Transplantation Society
Dear Colleagues and Congress Attendees,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 15th Annual Congress of the SwissTransplantation Society, taking place for the second time at the Congress Hotel Seepark in Thun.
The Scientific Committee headed by Hendrik Tevaearai has arranged a very attractive and interesting program. The first two speakers will present the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study status and the annual SwissTransplant activity report. This overview will set the stage for a moderated 70-minuteroundtable discussion entitled "Organ donation in Switzerland: why don't we do better ?" Six guests will discuss this topic and an audience voting system will give the attendees the opportunity to communicate their opinion. I believe that this discussion will be of wide interest to all people involved in organ donation. Don't miss this interactive session!
Further topics at this meeting cover current opportunities in transplantation and the challenge of early graft dysfunction across all organs. The keynote speaker on Saturday morning is Haibo Wang, who will give very interesting insights into transplantation in China, followed by a 15-minute open discussion.
As every year, the authors of the four best rated papers published in 2016 will receive Swiss Transplantation Society Awards. In addition, the first person to receive the newly introduced prestigious Astellas Award will be presented. Finally, we will celebrate the 2017 Honorary Member of the SwissTransplantation Society.
I am looking forward to meeting you in Thun to enjoy science, discussions, and friendship.
Stefan Schaub
President of the Swiss Transplantation Society
