The European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy has as its objective the promotion of science and research. We achieve this in part via scientific and educational activities, in particular through measures aimed at the promotion and exchange of information and ideas with regard to gene therapy, cell therapy, genetic vaccination, the encouragement of research fields and clinical applications.​ We support the activities of national gene and cell therapy societies that share this goal, and we are pleased to endorse the DG-GT in this way.
