Science & Organ Donation
Making scientific advances in regenerative and translational medicine accessible to all. Advocacy for organ donation will be a key feature of the adventure via an
understanding of the European framework while interviewing the national officials (German, Swiss, and Spanish program directors). This pillar is carried out in
collaboration with healthcare professionals, medical experts, and scientists.
