"The mission of the Mobility Clinic of the University Medical Center\n(UMC) Utrecht is to preserve the knee joint in young patients with\ncartilage damage and osteoarthritis as long as possible. Our\nphilosophy is that this emerging medical problem deserves attention\nfrom a broad perspective. Therefore, we aim to combine our basic\nscience research with patient care with a special focus on joint\npreserving regenerative therapies. In Utrecht, we have a very long\nhistory of collaboration between clinicians, veterinarians, and\ntranslational and basic scientists. This is now highlighted in the\norganization of two parallel skills courses: one for surgical skills\nand one for laboratory skills. In the true spirit of the ICRS, we will\nbring together the participants of these two skills courses to foster\nthe interaction between clinicians and translational/basic scientists.\nBesides hands-on workshops, we will also specifically dedicate time to\nhighlight how the basic scientist-clinician interaction and\ncollaboration could fruitfully take place on a daily basis.Utrecht is\nwell known for its basic research on cartilage regeneration and\nbioprinting, as well as for its development of multiple joint\npreserving techniques, like knee joint distraction and a\none-stage-cellular cartilage repair treatment. Furthermore, multiple\n(multicenter) clinical trials for cartilage repair have been\nperformed. This provides, together with the Faculty of Veterinary\nMedicine and the Hubrecht Institute, a unique translational ecosystem\nthat will be the setting for these dual ICRS skills Courses.\n\nWe set up combined plenary sessions with very experienced faculty. Two\nparallel tracks are organised. One for basic/translational researchers\nat the Hubrecht Institute and one for the clinicians including\ncadaveric surgery at the UMC Utrecht. Part of the course is also an\ninspiring visit to the fantastic facilities of the Dutch Soccer\nAssociation (KNVB), which is located very close to the UMC Utrecht.\n\nLINKEDIN https://go.evvnt.com/611222-3pid=4614\n[https://go.evvnt.com/611222-3?pid=4614] \n\nPRICES:\nSurgical Skills Track Junior Early Bird (until June 12/20): EUR 390.0;\nSurgical Skills Track ICRS Member Early Bird (until June 12/20): EUR\n490.0;\nSurgical Skills Track Non-ICRS Member Early Bird (until June 12/20):\nEUR 550.0;\nLaboratory Science Skills Track Junior Early Bird (until June 12/20):\nEUR 250.0;\nLaboratory Science Skills Track ICRS Member Early Bird (until June\n12/20): EUR 350.0;\nLaboratory Science Skills Track Non-ICRS Member Early Bird (until June\n12/20): EUR 400.0;\nLectures only Junior Early Bird (until June 12/20): EUR 150.0;\nLectures only ICRS Member Early Bird (until June 12/20): EUR 200.0;\nLectures only Non-ICRS Member Early Bird (until June 12/20): EUR 250.0\n\nSPEAKERS: Jos Malda, Roel Custers, Daniel Saris, Peter Angele , Mats\nBrittberg, Pieter Emans , Marcel Karperien , Daniel Kelly, Anders\nLindahl, Simin Mastbergen, Philipp Niemeyer, Gian Salzmann, Nienke Van\nEgmond, Ronald Van Heerwaarden, Rene Van Weeren, Lucienne Vonk, Harrie\nWeimans, Frank Zauke\n"
