The Scandinavian Transplant Society Congress is held every second year. The Scandinavian Transplant Congress aims to embrace all aspects of solid organ transplantation and bone marrow transplantation from basic to clinical research as well as translational science and nursing- and coordinator aspects. The meeting will offer both in-depth reviews of hot topics delivered by invited international and Nordic speakers and original abstracts. This year we particularly want to promote the participation of younger basic and clinical scientists by allotting time for presentation of recently completed research projects even if they have been presented at an immediate past international organ transplantation conference.
