14th International Congress of the European Association of Tissue Banks The 14th International Congress of the European Association of Tissue Banks took place in Florence, Italy, from 8th to 11th December 2005, in a very nice historical building – Villa Vittoria, Palazzo dei Congressi. The congress president was Prof. Rodolfo Capanna, M.D. The honorary president of the congress was Dr. William Enneking, M.D. from Gaineswille (Fl), USA. The congress topics included Ethical and Legal Aspects, Donor Service, Processing and Banking Technologies, Musculoskeletal Tissue, Skin and Skin Substitutes, Cardiovascular Tissue, Ocular Tissue, and Tissue Engineering. The congress was very well attended, with 182 participants from 22 countries, both from Europe,
and from other parts of the world. The State of The Art Lecture entitled ‘‘Observations on massive human allografts’’ was delivered by Dr. William Fisher Enneking, who presented his pioneering lifetime experience with massive bone allografts. The scientific program of the congress consisted in 92 oral and 33 poster presentations submitted by both scientists and tissue banking professionals. The scientific level of the congress was very good, reflecting progresses achieved in research as well as tissue banking practices. The authors of the best presentations have been invited to publish send their manuscripts to the Cell and Tissue Banking Journal, where a special issue will be assigned for the EATB Congress. Assoc.
