Why this programme?
During ESC Congress 2009 in Barcelona, young cardiologists from France carried out a survey to find out about young cardiologists organisations across Europe. The results identified a need for a strong community and thus the ESC decided to take the lead and look for support within the structure of the ESC National Cardiac Societies.
