The webinars are addressed to companies and businesses, willing to link their CSR policy to awareness-raising on organ donation and transplantation, to Media wishing to procure accurate information free from all bias and fake news, to entities, organizations and associations that engage in social projects and would like their employees and members to get acquainted with the great concepts of solidarity and hope of organ and bone marrow donation.
