The initiative to bring the East closer to the West for a better ICU care
We would like to thank everyone who attended the
1st Sepsis Treatment And Research (STAR) Symposium
Lectures can now be viewed for free!
Scientific publications from the field of critical care appear regularly in the highest ranking medical journals however results come from, and recognition goes mainly to the West.
However, we belive there is a time to change.
Members of the SepsEast Community are acknowledged experts and opinion leaders in the field of anaesthesia and intensive care medicine.

Appropriate research is essential for the development of medical science and thus the quality of patient care. We have decided to join forces in order to achieve tangible and useful results with joint research projects.
RESEARCH
Publishing results of research and making them widely available are essential to develop science and to improve patient care.
Read our latest publications.
High quality education and regular trainings are mandatory and essential to improve outcomes in critically ill patients. That is why we are planning to establish a joint educational program.
EDUCATION
We believe that there is a need for collaboration in our scientific and training activities, that is why we proposed a Memorandum of Understanding between the Signatory Institutes for Academic Cooperation in 2022.

What is SepsEast?
In Central and Eastern European countries, intensivists are still struggling to gain similar acknowledgement and prestige from the public, the governments and other specialities.
Fortunately over the last 10-15 years things have definitely improved, but there is still a long way to go.
That is why we initiated a concept, that we called SepsEast, in order to bring Eastern European opinion leaders and Western European experts together.
"Bridging the East to the West"
