Roberto Ferrari, the ESC President, and Steen Dalby Kristensen, Chairman of the ESC Credentials Committee, welcomed the Fellows into the Fellowship community.

As pictured above, newly elected Fellows received their Fellowship Diplomas yesterday in the Fellows Lounge. The Diploma is recognition of outstanding achievement in the profession. A Fellow plays a central role in the ESC, and supports and represents ESC activities throughout the world. Fellows are also entitled to a range of privileges, such as free registration to the ESC Congress.

ESC members with several years' experience and a significant contribution to clinical, educational, investigational, organisational or professional aspects of cardiology, may join the ESC Fellowship. Such contributions merit recognition. For further information visit the ESC Membership stand in the ESC Membership zone.
