The European Heart Academy
Shaping future leaders in cardiovascular medicine
The European Heart Academy trains future leaders in cardiovascular medicine. Working closely with selected top universities in Europe, it offers specialised courses in key areas of cardiology that lead to academic degrees.
A core goal of the European Heart Academy is to build and strengthen cooperation between European cardiologists, represented by the ESC, and leading academic institutions across Europe.
Together with its university partners, the academy offers tailored courses for cardiology professionals, aligned with the Bologna framework. These courses address gaps in training and education and support healthcare professionals on their path to leadership roles.
Each programme is developed with expert academic partners and ESC associations. Teaching and hands-on training take place at partner universities, ESC venues, and other state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring each course meets its specific learning needs.
The Academy and its partners aim to deliver top‑level cardiovascular degrees by combining expert faculty, innovative teaching formats, interactive learning, and relevant topics to prepare tomorrow’s cardiovascular leaders.
