ESHG is an international professional society founded in 1967 which
- promotes research in basic and applied human and medical genetics
- facilitates contact between all persons who share these aims

Our members (researchers, clinicians, laboratory scientists, psychologists and other social scientists, bioethicists, non-medical genetic counsellors) are involved in all disciplines of human genetics, including:

• biochemical, clinical, cancer, molecular and population genetics
• cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics 
• genomics

The Society offers the possibility of meeting and collaborating with colleagues throughout Europe.  

We are especially interested in encouraging young scientists and clinicians,  and in the transfer of technology and provision of genetic services for the emerging European countries. 

• organization of the annual European Human Genetics Conference
• publication of the prestigious European Journal of Human Genetics
• active Committees and Subcommittees

The Society has a governing Board and Statutes.
