Vision
To provide rapid access to hundreds of hospitals to efficiently conduct stroke trials in Europe.
Mission
The overall purpose of ESOTA is to promote research funding, collaboration, education, communication and advocacy in stroke research across Europe, thus supporting the conduct of randomised clinical trials leading to improved therapies for patients to prevent and treat acute stroke and the longer term consequences of stroke.
Guiding Principles
- Wide consultation – ESOTA emphasises a ‘bottom up’ rather than ‘top down’ approach, where European members of ESO are regularly consulted and participate
- Realistic goals – ESOTA will develop in a gradual stepwise way
- Keep independence – participating European research networks keep their independence and are free to choose randomised trials for collaboration[1]Kelly P, Al-Shahi Salman R, Arsovska A, et al.

ESOTA is an initiative of the European Stroke Organisation, supporting its research mission.
A Steering Group consisting of members of the ESO Trials Network Committee and Leads of member networks guides decision-making, informed by ESO members and reporting to the ESO Board and Executive Committee. All rules relating to ESO Committees apply to the Steering Group.
