The program of the Congress includes four plenary lectures on support of the diseased heart, biocompatibility, tissue engineering and technologies facilitating diabetes treatment, which will be delivered by the world-class experts: Prof. Piotr Suwalski, Prof. Jörg Vienken, Prof. Rui L. Reis and Prof. David C. Klonoff, in the consecutive days of the Congress. Eight keynote speakers and over 75 invited speakers will report on the latest significant findings and developments in the broad field of artificial organs during 16 special symposia, the IFAO symposium, 3 ESAO Working Group symposia and ESAO Corporate Members symposium. The Program Committee of the Congress selected 120 oral and 140 poster presentations, giving scientists, clinicians, industrial partners and students from 33 countries the opportunity to present and discuss results of their work. It is worth mentioning that two of the special symposia are organized in memory of Prof. Dieter Falkenhagen and Prof. Jan M. Wojcicki, ESAO Presidents who passed away in the recent years. The scenery of the Congress venue and the rich scientific program will create a unique atmosphere stimulating discussions and inspiring an exchange of creative ideas, bringing us closer “Towards Effective, Seamlessly integrated and Affordable Artificial Organs”, which is the theme motto of the XLIII Annual ESAO Congress. These three features of artificial organ therapy, such as the ability to effectively replace, substitute or regenerate the natural organ’s function, the seamless integration with the human body and affordability are altogether at the sharpest edge of the bioengineering revolution. In 2016, the Annual ESAO Congress is hosted in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, for the third time. However, the city has been changing and developing very fast since the last ESAO Congress in Warsaw in 2004. Therefore, Poland´s capital has a lot to offer even to those who visited the city in the past. We are sure that you will find it very interesting and exciting to discover the new face of this bustling metropolis, experience its unique atmosphere and get to know the extraordinary history of the capital of Poland. The official tourist website of the city claims that “there are countless reasons to fall in love with Warsaw”. We hope that after staying in Warsaw on the occasion of the XLIII ESAO Congress, you will realize that it is not just an empty slogan but the real truth. We look forward to meeting you in Warsaw to explore the fascinating area of artificial organs and to spend a good time together. Prof. Piotr Ladyzynski Congress President Prof. Marek Darowski Honorary Congress President 4 PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE Dear colleagues and friends, I am very glad to invite you to join the XLIII Congress of the European Society for Artificial Organs organized by Prof. Piotr Ladyzynski and his team from Nalecz Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, and the International Centre of Biocybernetics, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland from September 14–17, 2016. This year´s motto of the Congress “Towards Effective, Seamlessly Integrated and Affordable Artificial Organs” represents a wide scale of activities, reaching from new biomaterials with improved functionality, cardiac assist, hemodialysis, apheresis, ECMO, liver support devices to the engineering of tissues and organs including fundamental studies, preclinical and clinical investigations. In this way, the Congress will cover activities in research and development on tissue and organ support and replacements, reaching from bench to bed site. The Congress organizers could attract the interest of people from many different countries in Europe and far beyond, collecting about 300 abstracts for oral and poster presentations. A special feature of this year´s Congress are the 19 special symposia that are organized by ESAO Working Group chairmen and other invited chair persons. Here not only themes from all areas of artificial organ support will be discussed but also emerging topics like implantable biosensors, biomimetic devices, bioartificial organs and many others. I am also very proud to announce that the Congress organizers invited top-class speakers for keynote lectures that will certainly bring interesting new views and insights into different topics related to biocompatibility, cardiac assist devices and surgery, technologies for detecting hypoglycemia and the area of regenerative medicine. The pre yESAO Congress that will start on September 13 provides a platform for young researchers to meet each other and to discuss their latest research also with more experienced scientists who will contribute with two tutorial lectures. The ESAO Congress in Warsaw will also provide plenty of opportunities to discuss research results of fundamental and clinical studies with colleagues from biomedical industry, which is an important prerequisite for translating research into clinical application. In this regard, I am also looking forward to our ESAO Corporate Members Symposium where members from biomedical companies will present the latest developments in medical devices. Those of you who do not belong to the European Society of Artificial Organs yet, are cordially invited to become a member of our society and join our activities on development of artificial organ technology, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We also invite all participants to submit their research results as presented during this Congress to the flagship of our society, The International Journal of Artificial Organs. Warsaw – the capital of Poland - is a lively town with a lot of interesting and exiting sites. It is a city of many faces blending historical and socrealist buildings with post-modern skyscrapers, and has plenty more to offer like interesting museums, nice cafes and restaurants. Finally, the hospitality of Polish people is exceptional and well known. Piotr Ladyzynski and his team have planned an exciting social program that will certainly be very pleasurable for all of us. These are many reasons to attend the XLIII Congress of the European Society for Artificial Organs. I hope to see you there!

The Technicians’ Association was founded in Warsaw in 1898, and the construction of its Czackiego Street office started in 1903, and was designed by Jan Fijałkowski. The neo-baroque building was given its appearance partly due to the facade sculptures by Zygmund Otto. The figures are of Daedalus, Icarus and Archimedes, and a woman of radium rays, who symbolizes the past and the future. Perched on a cartouche, she is supported by seated figures of women, bearing the inscription ‘Artibus Technicis MXMIV’. Inside the stairwell there was an ornate ceiling, showing people going through the fire of revolution and headed toward a better future. Text and photos: http://www.warsawtour.pl Between 1913-1914 a wing was added to the building, and during World War I, the main halls were opened for use by the hospital. As a result of World War II, Tech House was burned; though the bearing walls were preserved and part of the main staircase survived, the rich interior and stucco did not survive the war. The restored building was opened in 1949. Currently, it houses many groups, and acts as the headquarters for Text and photos: http://www.warsawtour.pl the Head Technical Organization. The scientific program of the Opening Ceremony is outlined in the Congress Program – Overview. To make the beginning of the Congress more attractive and memorable the scientific content of the ceremony will be complemented with the artistic one. During the Opening Ceremony, Agnieszka Flis (Agnes Violin) will perform . Agnieszka Flis (Agnes Violin) is a violinist, precursor and performer of spectacular music shows, where she plays the diamond violin. Keeping abreast of the times Agnes Violin has focused on fusion of her classical skills as a violinist and the latest world trends of creating artistic sensations. After graduating from the Academy of Music in Łódź she was linked to the Łódź Philharmonic and a few ensembles.

It was founded in 1454 as a monastery. During the "Swedish Deluge" a monastery was burned. After the expulsion of the Swedes monastery was rebuilt and decorated in the baroque style. Secular functions monastery building dates back to the first years after the partition of Poland in 1772. First, the Prussians dedicate part of the monastery at the guardhouse. During the stay of Napoleon monastery served as a military hospital. The monastery was then close to ruin. Once again became a place of public events during the January Uprising Text and photo: http://www.cbr.edu.pl in 1863 that gave rise to the liquidation of the monastery in 1865. The owner of the buildings post-monastery has become the Museum of Industry and Agriculture, which was founded in Warsaw in 1875. After the First World War, the museum lost some importance but it has been developing further. In 1939, during the bombing of Warsaw Museum building, along with the collection was destroyed. Rebuilt after the war, in 1955, it was intended for the Central Agricultural Library. It is a scientific library of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. It collects literature in the field of agricultural science, horticulture, animal husbandry, fisheries, veterinary medicine, food industry, agricultural technology, environmental protection, forestry, politics and economics of agriculture and related sciences. Book Library - has about 380 thousand ox. Photo: http://cateringamfitrion.blogspot.com th Publications. In 2005, the Library celebrated its 50 anniversary. During the Gala Dinner a show of a Polish Folk Song and Dance Ensemble Polski Łan will take place. Polski Łan was formed by Zbigniew Jasiński in 2005 with professional dancers and musicians who have contributing to the high artistic quality of the ensemble and its continuous development. Polski Łan has in its repertoire brilliantly executed Polish national dances: krakowiak, mazurek, oberek, polonaise, kujawiak as well as folk dances and songs from different regions of the country. Original and beautiful costumes and a music band playing traditional folk instruments emphasize the character of the performed songs and dances. Choreography and music arrangements result from Text and photo: http://www.polskilan.pl collaboration with renowned artists who have been associated with this genre of art for a long time.
