During this syposium an educational activity endorsed by the EU-TRAIN consortium about “Development, validation and reporting a prediction model” was carried out and was attended by 50 participants from different European Countries. The course was chaired by EU-TRAIN principal investigators Profs Alexandre Loupy and Oriol Bestard, who coordinated the session and facilitated the smooth running of the course.

In that congress, a state-of-the-Art session as well as an educational symposium were devoted to Artificial Intelligence tackling the main goals of the EU-TRAIN consortium as a new approach to analyse outcomes and surrogates in transplantation.

The first EU TRAIN – ESOT symposium is a unique opportunity to “get on board” the EU-TRAIN, the European Transplantation and Innovation Consortium for Risk Stratification in Kidney Transplant Patients. The symposium will not only introduce the consortium, but it will also focus on the methodological and statistical pitfalls clinical researchers can face in the field of transplantation.

At the symposium that takes place on Sunday 15 September 2019, the future of biomarker-guided patient care in solid organ transplantation will be further exposed as well as how the consortium will create a molecular platform for precision diagnostics, data integration and analytics. Eventually, it will provide a platform of discussion on how to network and set up a European Consortium specifically directed to the younger audience.
