AIEOP: Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica

What AIEOP: Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica does

AIEOP (Associazione Italiana di Ematologia e Oncologia Pediatrica) is an Italian non-profit professional medical association founded in 1981 and headquartered in Bologna, with a legal seat at Galleria Ugo Bassi 1 and an operational center (Centro Operativo "Luciano e Daniele Pederzani") co-located at IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna. Its core function is to coordinate the Italian national network of pediatric hematology-oncology centers, providing clinical trial coordination through a dedicated Clinical Trial Office, developing evidence-based guidelines and consensus documents via disease- and topic-specific working groups (neuroblastoma, lymphomas, bone sarcomas, supportive care, late effects, adolescent care, coagulation defects, renal tumors, and others), and serving as the recognized interlocutor for SIOP and SIOPE at the Italian level.

The association's product and technology surface comprises (1) the AIEOP web portal (www.aieop.org) as the primary communication and information layer for members, healthcare professionals, and families; (2) a Clinical Study Platform for managing multi-center trials and eCRF data collection, migrated in 2025 from Cineca to Data River; (3) recurring scientific events including the annual national congress (51st edition scheduled for Lecce, October 2026), "Updates in Neuroblastoma," and "Focus in Oncologia e Ematologia Pediatrica"; (4) the Pronti, Trial, Via! webinar series for clinical research training; (5) the SurPass (Passaporto del Guarito) certified medical-device survivor passport; (6) accredited Master programs in pediatric palliative care; and (7) the Neuroblastoma Board for collegial case discussion across member centers.

AIEOP operates a non-profit revenue model funded by individual membership dues (€50/year for members aged 35+), institutional sponsorships and grants (notably Fondazione Veronesi), donations including the 5x1000 Italian tax-deduction channel, congress and event registration fees, Master program tuition, and proceeds from solidarity initiatives (Ride4Smile, FSC Italia). Its primary customer segments are Italian pediatric hem-onc healthcare professionals (members), member treatment centers across Italy, and — secondarily — families and patients. With 11 staff, AIEOP is a lean coordinator whose value derives from network scale and institutional legitimacy rather than operational scale.
