About Organizing Societies
EACA
The European Association of Clinical Anatomy (EACA) is an international, non-profit, non-political scientific association dedicated to advancing research and education in clinical anatomy across Europe. Its primary mission is to promote the application of practical anatomy to contemporary clinical practice, supporting both diagnostic and therapeutic disciplines.
EACA fosters scientific and cultural exchange among anatomists, clinicians, educators, and researchers, encouraging collaboration and the dissemination of knowledge within the international anatomical community. Through its biennial congresses, scientific activities, and educational initiatives, the Association provides a distinguished platform for presenting new discoveries, sharing expertise, and strengthening professional networks.
Membership in EACA is free of charge, allowing anatomists, clinicians, educators, and researchers to become members without any membership fee. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy (SRA) is the official journal of EACA. Abstracts accepted for presentation at the biennial EACA Congress are published in a dedicated congress supplement of the journal.

ISCAA
ISCAA means the International Symposium of the Clinical and Applied Anatomy. The main purpose was to bring together scientists involved in the practical application of the anatomical research from around the globe to discuss and advance our knowledge.
The ISCAA periodically organizes International Symposia with the aim to promote worldwide the diffusion of clinical anatomy, especially for young researchers, and to update the scientific knowledge and the research in all sectors of application of clinical and applied anatomy and morphological sciences.
Each year it hosts participants not only from the area in which the symposia are held (from Middle Europe to Near East) but also from other continents. Nevertheless, the “family” atmosphere based on the active participation of mainly younger investigators (including both the undergraduate and postgraduate students) is the mighty impetus of this platform.

TSACA
The Turkish Society of Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy (TAKAD) was founded in 1991 to support scientific research in anatomy and clinical anatomy, contribute to the development of anatomy education, and strengthen professional collaboration in the field.
TSACA promotes the exchange of scientific knowledge by organizing congresses, symposia, courses, and other scientific events, while encouraging national and international collaboration. TSACA currently has 651 active members and organizes the National Congress of Anatomy annually, bringing together anatomists, researchers, and healthcare professionals to present scientific achievements, exchange knowledge, and discuss recent advances in the field. In addition, TSACA hosts the annual Anatomy Winter Days, a scientific meeting dedicated to continuing education, academic exchange, and professional collaboration. Anatomy is the official peer-reviewed journal of the TSACA. The abstracts accepted for presentation at the annual National Congress of Anatomy are published in a dedicated congress supplement of the journal.
