On behalf of ERIM and the Econometric Institute we invite you to an international workshop on an EU-sponsored initiative on building the European Kidney Exchange programme.

KEP-SOFT brings together policy makers, clinicians, economists, social scientists and optimisation experts in Europe in order to establish and foster a preferential discussion channel for the various essential themes that have to be addressed for the implementation of a collaborative Kidney Exchange Programme.

Development of prototype software

One of the KEP-SOFT initiatives is the development of prototype software to accommodate (trans)national kidney exchanges. This software will be made freely available as a resource to the European transplantation community, and to National Transplantation Organisations (NTOs) in particular.

Software demonstration and presentations

The Rotterdam meeting consists of the software demonstration and presentations from the National Transplantation Organisations from the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain.
