Young scientific activities
Young Community Track in the Scientific Programme
Plan your ideal congress experience: the ESC Board Committee for Young Cardiovascular Professionals has tagged the sessions particularly relevant to young cardiovascular professionals.
ESC Named Lectures
Members of the ESC Young Community will be involved in the Questions & Answers part of the honorary lectures with the role of engaging with the audience. A total of six ESC Named Lectures will be given by international leading experts. Get inspired!
Clinical Case Programme
Designed by and for the young community. The ESC Committee for Young Cardiovascular Professionals 2022-2024 has created a unique Clinical Case Programme. Thank you to all who have submitted a clinical case to this year's congress.
Bring Your Questions - The Floor is yours
As a new 2024 scientific initiative, the ESC Young Community is involved in a new session type based on Questions & Answers between the audience and top experts in each of the main topics. One young attendee is appointed per session to co-chair, moderate the incoming questions and coordinate the preparation of ice-breaker questions before the session. Bookmark these sessions in your calendar.
