- Abstract
- In this issue of Transplantation Proceedings, the Belgian Transplantation Society (BTS) publishes the Proceedings of selected studies presented at the 20th and 21st annual BTS meetings that were held on March 21, 2013 and March 27, 2014 in Brussels. The BTS is a scientific society that aims to support research in transplantation. Every year transplant specific PhD theses are awarded. In addition to the scientific program, the transplant coordinator section of the BTS reviewed the donation trends from 1990 until date (published in this issue). They also established a new “BTS Transplant Coordinator Award for Organ Donation.” It was attributed the first time in 2012 In memoriam of Joachim de Roey, one of their colleagues, to “Navado,” an association of family donors supporting organ donation. In 2013, the “Fondation Carine Vighen” was awarded for the ascension of the Mont-Blanc that was organized with transplant patients in memory of Carine to support organ donation. Furthermore the BTS communicated on some of its specific commitments such as a meeting on “Euthanasia and Organ Donation” in 2012 and a preliminary report on “DCD National Protocol” in 2013. A Belgian adapted classification of Maastricht categories is proposed in this issue.
