The European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy has as its objective the promotion of science and research. We achieve this in part through scientific and educational activities, in particular through measures aimed at the promotion and the exchange of information and ideas with regard to gene therapy, cell therapy, genetic vaccination, the encouragement of research fields and clinical applications.
As such we would like to support the activities of National Societies that share this goal - please see some information and contact details for national societies below to help you, should you wish to get in touch with any of them.
