FCVB London 2012 – a scientific Olympics!
 Our second Frontiers in CardioVascular Biology meeting is taking shape for London 2012, with a Programme designed by a unique federation of 14 European basic science societies and supported by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). We aim to continue the ideals of the first meeting, in Berlin 2010, to bring the best and newest science to the cardiovascular arena.
Within a wide-ranging Programme, themes of Bioimaging, Degeneration and Regeneration, and Inflammation will be highlighted. Invited speaker presentations will be mixed with shorter talks selected from submitted abstracts, ensuring both the most recent data and strong involvement of younger speakers. Poster sessions will be central in both position and timing. With travel bursaries and low early career registration fees, this will be a meeting ideal for students and trainees.
The venue, Imperial College, is set within the famous “Albertopolis” area of West London, encompassing the Albert Hall, the Victoria and Albert, Natural History and Science Museums, and the lovely Hyde Park. Many of the societies will increase the productivity of the event by holding their business sections and satellites around the same time, and we aim to accommodate those who wish to hold Leducq or FP7 meetings within the campus. Imperial College is easily reached from London’s Heathrow airport and a wide range of housing will be available, including reasonably priced accommodation.
I look forward to welcoming both society members and new recruits to this rich and integrated cardiovascular science experience.
