The role of the International Society of Burn Injuries (ISBI) as an NGO representing burn care in all areas of the world is clear. First, the Society must support those who deliver burn care – who form the great majority of our membership – by encouraging education and training and by providing a forum of knowledge and resources. The Biennial Scientific Congress remains the cornerstone of this endeavour.

One of the main aims of our society is to disseminate knowledge and stimulate prevention in the field of burns.

In order to achieve these aims we:

• Endorse regional and national meetings and congresses.
• Award grants to professors taking part in courses and congresses in other countries and to members wanting to visit other burn centers
• Assist with the organization and financial support of educational courses in different countries
• Collaborate with WHO as a non-governmental organization.
• Provide members with reduced registration fees at our biennial conferences
• Ensure our members receive the Burns journal free of charge
