TWIGs Organizational Meetings Schedule  

All registrants of the conference are encouraged to attend the TWIGs Organizational Meetings.

The objectives of the TWIGs are: 

  1. to give all members of TERMIS-AM an opportunity to participate more directly in the life of the society 
  2. to provide support for programming in specific domains – this is important as the society grows in numbers of members and breadth of topics 
  3. to provide an opportunity to learn the workings of a professional society with the goal of readying talented, motivated individuals for leadership roles in TERMIS-AM and TERMIS Global 
  4. to address new and emerging areas impacting tissue engineering and provide a platform to introduce these areas into our meeting.
