	Education of fellows and non-members (cardiologists, GP, other physicians) with attention to topics such as: what requires more focus: basic EP (since no other formal teaching channels); preparatory courses for the certification exams; advanced courses; hands-on programs; proctor-programs; fellowship programs; …?	Moderator: C. Carbucicchio; reporter: T. De Potter
	Education of NCS/WG and/or EHRA members with attention to topics such as: how to create added value for WG/NCS by joined actions and membership (National WG/EHRA) what are possibilities for revenue sharing activities (e.g. through educational offerings; e.g. EP and center certification)	Moderator: J.

Heidbuchel; reporter: D. Theuns
