The European Calcified Tissue Society was founded in 1963 and is the most important European Society focussing on bone and its disorders. The Society is a registered CHARITY (number SC033201) whose mission is to promote excellence in research into the field of calcified tissues within Europe, and to ensure the findings are disseminated to enable benefit to patients with bone disease.
The specific aims of the
Association are to advance scientific knowledge of the
structure and function of calcified tissues and related
subjects, to promote basic and clinical research in
this field and to publish and disseminate the results
of such research, to foster a multidisciplinary approach
and to stimulate, through meetings, symposia, study
groups, lectures, seminars and other means, exchange
of information and collaboration and to act as an authoritative
body for the purpose of consultation in matters of public
and professional interest concerning research in calcified
tissues and related subjects in Europe.
The European Calcified Tissue
Society is a company limited by guarantee. The Company
does not have shares or shareholders, but instead it
has its members. The day-to-day management of the Society
is carried out by the directors. Profits that the Company
may generate are used to provide research grants and
to subsidise other activities to further the aims and
mission of the ECTS.
The donations we receive
are mainly used to fund research in bone disease. Our
focus areas include metabolic bone diseases (osteoporosis,
osteomalacia, Paget’s disease), inherited bone
diseases (rickets, osteogenesis imperfecta) and malignant
bone disease (myeloma, metastatic breast and prostate
cancer). We also fund research in other areas than bone
disease like osteoarthritis.
We hope that you have found your visit to this site
informative, supportive and user friendly. If you would
