Tuula Rintala Director, Quality of Care and Advocacy EBMT, European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Barcelona, Spain As we are approaching the EBMT Annual Meeting 2025 , in Florence, we have been reflecting on the changes in the landscape that JACIE , as everyone else working within the field of HCT and Cellular Therapies are facing. Since JACIE joined FACT in co-publishing the 3 rd edition of IEC Standards (due to be published later this year), we have taken the opportunity to think about the rationale for JACIE expanding the opportunity for certification beyond the ‘traditional’ HCT Centres.
