Educational Grants

The aim of these grants is to encourage research and to support the development of professional careers towards the fight against cardiovascular disease.

Educational Grants are offered to healthcare professionals, clinicians and researchers who have limited access to funding or difficulties to obtain financial assistance in order to attend the Congress.

Successful applicants will receive €850 as a contribution towards the costs of travel and accommodation and will also benefit from a free congress registration.

There is no strict age limit, the applicant is required to complete all mandatory fields and upload a CV and a copy of an identity document.
