Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 53rd Annual Meeting of the EBMT, taking place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, from 11-14 April 2027.
For more than five decades, EBMT has continued to Bridge Scientific Research and Clinical Reality, enabling transformative advances in transplantation, immune effector cell therapies, and gene therapy. The Annual Meeting remains a central forum for sharing innovation, fostering collaboration, and translating scientific progress into improved patient care. The Netherlands has played a formative role in the history of transplantation, through the visionary work of founding figures such as Jon van Rood and Dick van Bekkum, whose fundamental contributions helped shape the scientific and clinical foundation of modern transplantation. Hosting the Annual Meeting in the Netherlands reflects both our commitment to the future of transplantation and our respect for the legacy that shaped it.
The Rotterdam meeting will once again bring together a truly multidisciplinary community, including physicians, nurses, data managers, statisticians, quality managers, cell therapists, laboratory scientists, pediatricians, pharmacists, psychologists, transplant coordinators, trainees, and patient representatives. A comprehensive scientific program will highlight the latest breakthroughs, encourage cross‑disciplinary exchange, and provide opportunities for young dedicated investigators to contribute and develop within the field.
Rotterdam is a dynamic, international city known for its innovative spirit, modern architecture, and strong academic and clinical environment. Its openness, diversity, and forward‑looking character mirror the values of the EBMT community and provide an inspiring setting for scientific exchange, networking, and collaboration.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Rotterdam in April 2027 for an engaging and high‑quality scientific meeting, and to sharing an exceptional professional and social experience with you.
