Report 3rd spring meeting 2012

Our 3^rd Annual Spring Meeting held at UZ Brussel was a great success.The theme of the programme 'the Impact of the ATMP Regulation on Tissue and Cell Banks' was very current for our members as shown by the high meeting attendance. A special thank you to Dr. Ineke Slaper-Cortenbach and Dr. Greet Musch for their excellent presentations.  And of course no meeting is successful without the positive engagement of our participants.

Guest presentation may be downloaded from the member section of the website. Some photos of members enjoying the meeting will also be available on the members section.
