The European Burns Association was founded in 1981 by leading European burn specialists. To encourage cooperation in the field of burn care throughout the continent.
The EBA serves as a forum through which medical specialists, researchers, professionals allied to medicine (PAM), and other workers come in contact to discuss aspects of burn treatment and research. In this way, expertise and knowledge are spread throughout Europe.
It has been established as a non-profit organization for the benefit of the public, to promote burn prevention, to study the prevention of burn injury, and all other aspects of burn treatment.
The European Burns Association Congress is a bi-annual conference organized by the EBA.
