Purpose of society

The society represents the interests of its members in scientific, medical and ethical questions and conducts public relations for this research area. It promotes research into stem cells, supports the training of the next generation, participates in the exchange of scientists on a national and international level, supports publications and organizes conferences and seminars. The association wants to bundle the previously loose network of scientists nationwide in a platform for stem cell research and to be a competent and independent advisor for all questions of stem cell research.
