Renew Your ICRS Membership Today & Support the Future of Cartilage Regeneration

In my capacity as President of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS), I am encouraging you today to renew your ICRS membership for the current and/or coming year. Your ongoing support is essential in advancing the field of cartilage regeneration and joint preservation. 

Thanks to the collective membership fees, we can:

Organize world-class educational events: ICRS organizes Focus Meetings, Surgical Skills and Lab Skills Courses, Summits and World Congresses to bring together next-generation and leading experts from around the world to share advancements in research and clinical practices in cartilage regeneration and joint preservation.   

These ICRS meetings enable young cartilage afficionados to gain necessary knowledge and skills, and our seasoned cartilage experts to stay up-to-date and to give back to the community. 

In 2025, in addition to our 18th ICRS World Congress in Boston (USA), we will train clinicians and physiotherapists in our Surgical Skills Course in Doha (Qatar) and basic and translational scientists in our Lab Skills Course in Utrecht (the Netherlands). We will also support the Brazilian ICRS community by organizing the 4th World Series São Paulo.  

Develop innovative projects that expand our reach: We are constantly updating our digital portfolio to disseminate cutting-edge knowledge and training, also for those who are not able to attend our meetings in person. Recently developed virtual projects include:

• the Meniscus Discovery Series,
• the Visionaries in Cartilage Regeneration interview series,
• the Translational Research Committee Workshop webinars
• the ICRS-Winglet TV Series,
• the ICRS Patient Registry Public Engagement event.

These projects support our mission to advance the science and education of cartilage regeneration and joint preservation across the globe.

All projects are developed by inspired ICRS members with the support of our dedicated Office staff. By renewing your membership, you play a vital role in enabling these efforts, allowing us to maintain the high quality of our programs and to introduce new opportunities for professional growth and collaboration to advance the science and education of the prevention & treatment of cartilage disease worldwide.

We greatly appreciate your dedication to our shared mission. Please take a moment to renew your membership and continue to be a part of our vibrant community.  We also encourage you to get more involved by participating in one of our many committees. 

Thank you for your support and commitment to excellence in cartilage regeneration and joint preservation.

Sincerely,

Daniel A. Grande, Ph.D; ICRS President 2023-2025
