The RISET project has been led by two co-ordinators -  Prof Michel Goldman, ULB and latterly Professor Kathryn Wood, Univ of Oxford.  The project is divided into five work packages, each with its own Work Package Leader and Manager.

The work packages, which deal with distinct areas of investigation, are as follows;

Work Package 1: Diagnostic Tests for Transplantation Tolerance

Work Package 2: Inducing Allograft Tolerance

Work Package 3: Pilot Clinical Studies

Work Package 4: Dissemination, Dialogue, Ethical and Societal Issues

Work Package 5: Project Management
