Getting ready to brainstorm at Spring Summit 

Date :

15 Feb 2008
This year again ESC President Professor Kim Fox is inviting influential partners from the ESC National Societies, Working Groups, Associations and Councils to participate in the Spring Summit 2008, one of the two large annual meetings, the ESC Constituent Bodies springboard for discussion.

Heart House at Spring Time

This year’s Spring Summit is presented in a revamped format, following on from feedback from ESC Constituent Bodies who have suggested it should evolve into a more interactive forum to trigger more debates and participation from the guests.  

The idea is to bring up the following five topics, for thorough discussion by the participants:  

  • Training and Education (chaired by Prof. P. Mills)
  • European Union Affairs (chaired by Prof. W. Wijns)
  • Research Foundation (chaired by Prof. A.J. Camm)
  • Governance (chaired by Prof. L. Rydén)
  • Guidelines (chaired by Prof. A. Vahanian)

Furthermore there will also be a presentation on the ESC Elections by Prof. M.Tendera.

Revamped format - more interactivity!

What is new this year is that, in order to create a more interactive session, a set of questions prepared by the chairpersons will be sent to the participants to allow them to reflect upon these prior to the session.
