About the European Cytogeneticists Association

The European Cytogeneticists Association (E.C.A.) was founded in 1997 and is registered in France.

The objectives of the Association are:

Representation and promotion of fundamental research and applications of cytogenetics
Organisation, assessment, and quality control of cytogenetic services in Europe
Research, education and training in all fields which are of interest to or concern cytogenetics and cytogeneticists
Facilitation of transfer of information and collaboration between laboratories.
Representation of professionals in cytogenetics
Study of questions and defence of interests concerning cytogeneticists or cytogenetics in general
