History

TERMIS was established to unify the efforts of various regional societies focused on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The society was formed through the merger of the European Tissue Engineering Society (ETES), the Tissue Engineering Society International (TESI), and the Asian-Pacific Tissue Engineering Society (APTES). This merger aimed to create a cohesive international community that could foster innovation and collaboration across borders.

Mission and Objectives

The mission of TERMIS is to promote the worldwide advancement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine through:

• Facilitating the exchange of information among researchers and practitioners.
• Organizing international conferences and meetings.
• Supporting the education and training of students and professionals in the field.
• Encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists, engineers, and clinicians.

Activities

TERMIS organizes several key activities to achieve its mission:

Conferences

TERMIS hosts annual conferences in different regions, including the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. These conferences provide a platform for presenting the latest research findings, networking, and discussing future directions in the field.

Publications

The society supports the dissemination of research through its official journal, which publishes peer-reviewed articles on various aspects of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Educational Programs

TERMIS offers educational programs and workshops aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of students and professionals. These programs cover a wide range of topics, from basic science to clinical applications.

Structure

TERMIS is structured into three regional chapters: the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Each chapter operates semi-independently, organizing regional meetings and activities while contributing to the global mission of the society.
