Whatever you career stage, specialty or place of work, the ESC is here to support you all year long.
Much of what we have to offer is freely available to all, but the best way to make the most of the ESC and its subspecialty communities, is to become a member. We're better at fighting cardiovascular disease, when we do it together.

Communities you belong to: The ESC is a truly unique organisation, here to support your professional journey, every step of the way. The ESC Community has endless opportunities to make the most of what we have to offer – from networking and mentoring, to educational tools and resources, and access to exceptional scientific resources to further and enhance your career.
If you believe in the ESC and everything we stand for, take the next step and support our mission by becoming an ESC Professional Member or a member of one of our subspecialty associations.
Guidance you rely on: ESC Guidelines are designed to help you give the best possible care to your patients. They present relevant evidence that helps you weigh the benefits and risks of a particular diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. They are essential in everyday clinical decision-making and are available in multiple formats, including the full text (printed in the European Heart Journal), the ESC Pocket Guidelines App, summary cards, essential messages and slide sets.
Congresses that change practice: At congresses – online or in-person - we inspire, innovate and take learning to a new level. They are powerful platforms to disseminate highly relevant research findings, update clinical best practices and bring together key opinion leaders, experts and young cardiologists. Knowledge-sharing in this way can have a profound impact on patient care and is at the heart of our mission.
Education you want: To help you stay up to date and take your career to the next level we offer you online and classroom courses, webinars, postgraduate courses in collaboration with leading universities, and certification programmes. Our programmes are interactive, designed by experts and cover the full spectrum of cardiology.
The world's largest cardiovascular library contains over 135,000 abstracts, slides, and videos from all our congresses, as well as webinars, COVID-19 resources and more.
Grants you grow with: Each year the ESC offers €2 million in grants and fellowships to help cardiovascular health professionals access quality education, training and research throughout Europe.
The application period for ESC Training, Research and Nursing Grants is opens each Autumn and closes in January. Applications for ESC subspecialty associations and educational grants to attend congresses are open throughout the year.
Science you need: Keep up to date with the latest science all year long with the ESC Journal Family including the European Heart Journal and a wealth of other journals covering all cardiovascular subspecialties. You can now submit papers to the new European Heart Journal - Open Access.
The EURObservational Research Programme (EORP), collects data from more than 2,500 centres in 100 countries across over 20 different registries. These studies give a clearer picture of global medical practice, covering a wide range of common and rare CVDs, interventional techniques and prevention.
EORP is currently recruiting for three registries: Heart Failure III, Pregnancy and Cardiac Disease (ROPAC III), Valve Durability (TAVI), and Spontaneous Coronary Arterious Dissection (SCAD). Get in touch if your centre would like to take part.
EuroHeart will be the new frontier in patient registries. This exciting pan-European registry will cover several common diseases (HF, AFib, ACS-PCI, valve disease) on a single platform for all countries.
The main aim is to create a constant learning experience with immediate feedback- real-time data that can support instant decision-making. This is an ambitious project that could radically change the way we use patient data. Estonia is the first country to be selected for the pilot project.
By working with like-minded organisations and our network of national cardiac societies, we help make cardiovascular disease a top priority for governments. From research funding to medical device regulation and heart health policy, we share our expertise and statistics to ensure decision-makers have the right information to support our mission and save lives.
Whatever your area of expertise, the ESC’s 29 subspecialty communities offer tailor-made tools, education, science and support for their communities.
These groups understand your specific needs and are constantly pushing the boundaries of excellence.
Tell us your field of interest and we'll show you what the ESC can do for you.
