Network info and goals
The ELN is an international network of excellence for cooperative research on leukemia. Ca. 220 participating centers in 45 countries (map attached) with more than 1000 researchers and clinicians are cooperating. The objective is to integrate the about 120 leading leukemia trial groups (CML, AML, ALL, CLL, MDS, MPN), their interdisciplinary partner groups (diagnostics, treatment research, registry, guidelines), industry and SMEs to form a network promoting cooperative research for curing leukemia. A summary of the mission of ELN is attached.
Achievements of the ELN
Achievements in addition to the integration of leukemia research among its more than 1000 physicians and researchers and 220 institutions are the more than 100 management recommendations and guidelines for all types of leukemia and related interdisciplinary specialities. A selection of the recommendations 2013-2023 is included in the attachment. The key instrument of integration are regular meetings, in particular the annual ELN symposium at no cost for participants
