Important note: All presentations are available on the conference platform until September 30^th for you to have the opportunity to attend all talks!

We look back at a very successful annual event. The report of the conference will be published in september.

The 3rd annual EUROoCS meeting was held on 1 and 2 July 2021, where the most recent results related to research, development and application of Organ-on-Chip (OoC) were presented and discussed.

Due to the pandemic, the EUROoCS 2021 conference was again organized in digital format. Although this could not replace the atmosphere and networking during a physical meeting in the sunny Uppsala, the meeting was well-attended with more than 430 participants.

Thanks again to all people who contributed to make this conference a great success.

We hope you enjoyed the conference and we look forward to meeting you in person next year in Grenoble at EUROoCS 2022.

Maria Tenje (Chair) on behalf of the Scientific Program Committee

Topics
The EUROoCS 2021 conference is a scientific meeting covering all aspects related to research, development and application of OoC. Topics such as micro- and nanoengineering, microfluidics, tissue engineering, organoids, (multi)-organ models, standardization, upscaling, qualification, regulatory aspects and disease modeling will be addressed.

Special sessions
This year, we also introduce a new feature in the format of two special sessions organized by the Advisory Boards of EUROoCS.

The panel sessions ‘Meet your Regulatory Advisory Board (RAB)’ and ‘Meet your Industrial Advisory Board (IAB)’ will demystify the world of regulators and clarify the bottlenecks of industry.

The RAB and IAB members cordially invite you to break possible barriers, interact with them and benefit from their expertise in these panel discussions.

Format
The format of the conference is similar to the EUROoCS 2020 digital event last year:
– Two-day meeting
– Keynote lectures
– Parallel sessions
– Interactive poster session
– Prize ceremony
– Exhibition booths
