Dear Members,
We are excited to keep you posted with our plans !
Activities
The online symposium “Hot topics and new insights for Thrombosis” will be held on 17 March 2022. Please also save the date in your agenda for Eurothrombosis & Eurovessels to be held in Lisbon, Portugal 20-22 October 2022 as a joint effort between the ESC Working Groups on Thrombosis and on Aorta & Peripheral Vascular Diseases. Abstract submission will open in March.
Awards for best abstracts
This year we will distribute awards for the best abstracts submitted to our members to the Frontiers in CardioVascular Biomedicine FCVB in Hungary.
We will also review the abstracts for the Young Investigator Award in Thrombosis at the ESC Congress in Barcelona. Make sure you submit your abstract before 20 March !
Working Group elections
Another activity is the election of the new chair-elect and the call for candidates for the working group nucleus. The nominating Committee to manage the elections for 2022-2024 is composed of Dirk Sibbing, WG Past-Chairperson and Chairperson of the Nominating Committee, Andrea Rubboli, WG Chairperson-Elect, and Gregory YH Lip, WG Nucleus Member.
This Nominating Committee will manage and supervise the elections of the Chairperson-Elect and Ordinary Nucleus Members according to the Standard Operating Procedure. Online voting for the chairperson elect will be held 8-28 February. Elections of new nucleus members will be initiated end of April, with voting taking place mid June. You will receive the invitation to vote through the ESC (egibilty criteria apply).
Important: you can only vote if you are a member of the working group and have renewed your membership actively. You need to apply for membership or renew it before April 24 to be able to vote. Make your vote count!
Membership renewal
As you know, we recently changed from a life-time membership to a renewable membership. This resulted in an (expected) decrease in membership and we now have an active and growing community of 401 members.
If you have not yet renewed your membership, do so now! We cannot do our work without you!
On behalf of the Working Group nucleus,
Heleen van Beusekom, Communication Coordinator 2020-2022
and Gemma Villahur, Chairperson 2020-2022
