Young Researchers Group aims
The most important aim of the Working Group on Thrombosis Young Researchers is to facilitate international networking, thereby strengthening the opportunities for international collaboration.
The group is embedded in the ESC Working Group on Thrombosis and creates a strong organisational framework for young researchers interested in thrombosis. Another key aim is to provide member benefits, including grants, mentoring opportunities and international thrombosis meetings.
Let’s exchange, learn and grow together! Join our Facebook Group and be part of the conversation.

Exchange grants
This is a research grant to be performed in a clinical or basic centre that facilitates scientific exchange and collaboration over the course of one year.
Read the testimonials of two young researchers who were selected and received a grant of 25.000 € each for their outstanding projects.
"I am a PhD-Student at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, in the research group of Prof. Johann Wojta and, with the Lab Exchange Grant from the ESC Working Group on Thrombosis, I will be able to work at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, under the supervision of Prof. Agneta Siegbahn. Agneta Siegbahn is one of the leading scientists in the field of thrombosis and tissue factor signalling. This grant enables the two research groups to collaborate in the field of atherothrombosis and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experience between them.
This project will help to elucidate the impact of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-33 on the coagulation capacity of human whole blood and will give insight into the molecular mechanisms of this process. By investigating tissue factor activity in monocytes subsets and monocyte-derived microparticles, the project aims to further clarify the interplay of inflammation and thrombosis in vascular disease". Dr Stefan Stojkovic
"I am a PhD student working at Herning Regional Hospital, Denmark, enrolled at Aarhus University and supervised by Associate Professor Steen Husted, one of Europe’s leading experts in thrombocardiology. The grant will allow us to collaborate with the coagulation laboratory at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, led by Associate Professor Moniek de Maat, a leading scientist in the field of coagulation analyses and anti-thrombotic therapy. My research stay in Rotterdam is of great importance for my PhD-project and for future scientific cooperation between the institutions involved. Our study focuses on adherence and the role of coagulation assays in patients treated with dabigatran etexilate for non-valvular atrial fibrillation". Dr Willemijn Comuth
