We are excited to announce that ESOTA is further growing and would like to welcome the Italian Stroke Research Network as a new and 10th member.
Welcome to our new member network!
The Italian Stroke Research Network has a long-standing informal activity in Italy with many collaborations at international level. Recently the Network moved toward a more structured organization and is now ready to become part of ESOTA.
The network has close relationship with the Italian Stroke Association (ISA-AII). It was born from the integration of different experiences, cultures and professionalism united by dedication, passion and commitment to the fight against stroke. ISA-AII promotes and supports research and training aimed at developing a modern and innovative medical and scientific culture, which translates into expert prevention and treatment interventions, reducing the impact of cerebrovascular disease on people and society.
Furthermore, the ISA-AII is part of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe and is strongly supporting to reach its aims and objectives.
Benvenuta Italia!!
What is ESOTA?
ESOTA is a Network of Networks and supports researchers in finding research partners for successfully conducting a trial.
