Accreditation

Fill out the accreditation online form. The ESC Press Office will examine your credentials and grant press accreditation for one year if your request is accepted.

Why become accredited as press?

It allows you to attend ESC events, access the exclusive web page for Press (ESC Congress only) and all available embargoed press material (press releases, abstracts, full papers, slides…), as well as reach ESC experts for interviews, and much more!
