CTRMS will focus on the following priorities:

1. Enhancing Interdisciplinary Collaboration
   Establish structured opportunities for dialogue and joint projects between transplantation and regenerative medicine communities.
2. Strengthening Global Partnerships
   Engage with international societies and institutions to broaden CTRMS’s reach and impact.
3. Expanding Educational Initiatives
   Develop advanced training programs and workshops to equip members with cutting-edge knowledge and skills.
4. Fostering Member Engagement
   Create platforms for active participation in committees, working groups, and strategic planning.
5. Advocacy and Policy Development
   Position CTRMS as a voice in shaping regulatory frameworks and ethical standards for cell-based and regenerative therapies.
6. Equity and Access
   Promote initiatives that ensure global access to advanced therapies, addressing disparities in healthcare delivery.

We will achieve this vision through:

• Dedicated Task Forces and Committees
  We will establish specialized groups to lead initiatives in education, research, and policy.
• Collaborative Platforms
  Launch virtual forums and working groups to connect experts across disciplines and geographies.
• Educational Programs
  Develop webinars, workshops, and possibly fellowship opportunities to disseminate best practices and emerging science. As you know, CTRMS already offers quarterly webinars on the TTS platform, however we will secure a strategic partnership with the American Society of Transplantation (AST), the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) and the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy (ISCT) to cosponsor the AST-TERMIS-ISCT webinar series. The webinar series, convening leading experts in the fields of cell, tissue, and organ transplantation as well as regenerative medicine, was inaugurated in 2021. Organized on a bimonthly basis through the TERMIS platform, the series attained its twenty-fourth installment in November 2025.
• Strategic Partnerships
  Formalize collaborations with leading institutions, societies, and industry partners to amplify impact.
• Endorsement Program
  Our society is committed to amplifying initiatives that align with our mission and strategic priorities.
