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 like to make a donation to help continue the work of the Association please complete the donation form
