from the whole of Europe and even the world.
The scientific programme contains plenary lectures by experts in the many
different fields of tissue repair; teaching sessions, which are specifically
meant for the starting researchers in the field; and presentations by
delegates on the basis of a submitted abstract. Furthermore, participants
will have the opportunity to present their work on a scientific poster.
In this way all participants can present their work to their critical
and enthusiastic colleagues from the whole of Europe.
An extensive selection of the submitted abstracts will be published in
the scientific journal supported by ETRS: Wound Repair and Regeneration.
This journal has received a high ranking on the Citation Index list, and
