The Euroliver Foundation was set up in 1992 by Herman Tob, (in memoriam 1936-2011) who, following a liver transplant in February 1991, decided to make use of his experience, and by the man who cured him, Professor Jean-Bernard Otte, a specialist in liver transplants at the Saint-Luc University Clinics.

The Euroliver Foundation was officially inaugurated on 30 September 1993 in the Museum of Louvain-la-Neuve. This event, which celebrated the dialogue between "Art and Science" with an exhibition by the American artist Keith Haring, was the starting point for a number of cultural and artistic activities, academic events, an awareness-building day and direct interventions in hospital centers in Belgium.

The Euroliver Foundation is a Public nonprofit charity association under Belgian law.

The ceremony will take place at the Donor Memorial, in the Sculpture Garden of the UCL, close to the Saint-Luc clinics.
