Mission statement:

The mission of the ISRBP is to provide a broad  international  forum for intensive discussion of research, development, clinical use and social acceptance of rotary blood pumps. The ultimate goal is to provide technologies and applications, and clinical procedures  for rotary blood pumps and related systems for saving lives, improving the life quality of recipients and for cost-efficient availability of the emerging therapies.

The primary tool to achieve these aims is the implementation of at least one annual meeting alternating between continents (usually  Europe, Japan and the United States of America).  The meeting shall  include  at least the oral and poster presentation of submitted abstracts, panel discussions and invited lectures. The program committees are especially requested to facilitate/foster the career development of young investigators working in the field. 

Additional measures to achieve these goals of intensive information and opinion exchange may also include electronic media means, courses and support of research exchange.

The journal "Artificial Organs", is the official Journal of both the International Federation of Artificial Organs and Our Society and is intended as a platform to discuss the state of the art of these devices.
