EU Funded Projects

EBA is furthering its goals also by working together with the European Commission by initiating Projects (co-)funded by the EU. All EBA initiated projects have led to tangible deliverables:

Donor Health Care (DoHeCa)

The Donor Health Care programme is the first postgraduate educational programme in its field. It offers a unique E-learning programme for medical professionals involved in assessing donors and obtaining Substances of Human Origin (SoHO). It is an overarching programme for the fields of blood, tissues, cells and tissue donation. Progress of the project can be followed on the Donor health care website.
