The SDTA was founded in 2008 by the members of the Local Organizing Committee, with the benefits of the European Transplant Coordinators Organization (ETCO) congress in Geneva 2005, under the presidency of Prof. Peter Suter.

The SDTA is registered in Geneva.

The goals of the association are to:
- promote organ & tissue donation and    transplantation in Switzerland.
- encourage exchange between the        health professionals implicated in          organ & tissue donation and                  transplantation.
- support educational projects


The 15th SDTA symposium take place on Thursday,  January 22, 2026 in the Congress Hotel Seepark Thun
