Mitochondria Biology and Disease and aspirate to the dissemination of the Scientific Culture.
As a reflection of the different disciplines evoked in the mitochondrial field, we will ensure to:
– provide a multidisciplinary forum aimed at advancing and disseminating knowledge of
mitochondrial research, for the benefit of individuals and Society;
– stimulate, encourage and develop high-quality training activities, scientific meetings and career
opportunities for scientists and clinicians working in mitochondrial research and medicine;
– encourage multidisciplinary collaboration across Europe;
– promote equal access to high standards of specialist care, treatments, drugs, clinical trials, research
opportunities, infrastructure and funding;
– engage mitochondrial researchers and clinicians with patient associations, the general public and
all key stakeholders involved in the field;
– endorse public awareness.

E-mit society is open to all scientists, clinicians, patients’ associations, companies and other key
stakeholders working in the fields of mitochondrial research and medicine, irrespective of

Moreover, E-mit is
committed to fostering the next generation of mitochondrial scientists and clinicians.
