Invitation

We are pleased to invite you to the 3rd TENET COST Action General Meeting and Conference “Innovative tools and developments in Tendon Regeneration” to be held on 7-9th July 2025 in Porto and online.

Recent advancements in regenerative medicine, biomaterials, and bioengineering have introduced innovative tools and techniques aimed at enhancing tendon healing and regeneration. These innovative tools and regenerative strategies continue to push the boundaries of tendon healing, offering hope for improved clinical outcomes and functional recovery in patients with tendon injuries. As research progresses, a combination of biomaterials, stem cell therapy, gene editing, and biophysical stimulation is expected to redefine the future of tendon regeneration. This conference will bring together leading experts, researchers, and professionals committed to driving innovation in tendon regeneration strategies.

By attending the 3rd TENET COST Action Conference, you will be part of a dynamic forum where experts from various disciplines come together to exchange groundbreaking research, address key challenges, and strengthen  collaborations that will drive advancements in tendon regeneration.

INVITATION

We are pleased to invite you to the 2nd  TENET COST General Meeting to be held on 17th  September 2024 in Aalborg.

The meeting will feature parallel sessions for Working Groups (WGs) and a Management Committee (MC) meeting. The WG sessions will provide an opportunity to report on the status of various tasks, including the development of a research agenda and the preparation of position and review papers. The MC meeting will review the action’s progress and set objectives and activities for the next grant period.

Our goal for this General Meeting is to continue gathering information from the community engaged in tendon-related research across various disciplines. We aim to include stakeholders, patients, and healthcare professionals in defining a comprehensive research agenda. Additionally, we will focus on developing and implementing a communication and dissemination plan and begin drafting reviews and reports that will help standardize and homogenize future research in this field.

We look forward to your participation and valuable contributions to ensure the success of this initiative.

    INVITATION

    We are pleased to invite you to the 1st TENET COST Action General Meeting and Conference “Advances and Challenges of Tendon Regeneration” to be held on 11-12th March 2024 in Salzburg and online.

    This conference will serve as a nexus for leading experts, researchers, and professionals dedicated to advancing regenerative strategies for tendon regeneration. The pursuit of alternative therapeutic approaches beyond current conservative and surgical interventions has fueled the development of innovative therapies and substitutes. Despite the significant strides made in tendon regeneration research, there exists a critical need for cohesion and coordination in the dissemination of knowledge. The wealth of research findings, though substantial, remains scattered. This lack of integration poses a formidable challenge in harnessing the full potential of regenerative strategies for tendon health.

    By participating in the 1st TENET COST Action Conference, you will join a collaborative forum where experts from diverse fields converge to share their latest discoveries, discuss challenges, and forge connections that will propel the field of tendon regeneration forward. Whether you choose to join us in person in the historic city of Salzburg or virtually from the comfort of your own workspace, your presence will be integral to fostering the coordination necessary for scientific breakthroughs.

    We eagerly anticipate your participation in this transformative event, contributing to the collective effort to overcome challenges and unlock new frontiers in tendon regeneration research. Together, let us pave the way for a future where regenerative strategies revolutionize the landscape of tendon therapies.
