Alumni Task Force Members
The Alumni Task Force
In 2020, the Alumni Task Force was established to represent the Academy, to engage and enhance the Alumni community to encourage its full potential, and to explore and implement innovative projects that are beneficial for the entire cardiovascular community.
The task force has 20 members, with participants from: the PCHF-Zurich, the MSc in Health Economics (LSE), the MSc in Clinical Trials (Oxford University) and the DAS-CAM (University of Maastricht).
The mission of the task force is to act as a link between the Academy Alumni community of more than 650 members with over 50 nationalities and the ESC. To achieve that goal, the enthusiasm of the task force has been key in initialising new initiatives and projects.
These include measures to enhance the visibility of the community like the quarterly Alumni newsletter, a social media strategy in collaboration with the ESC team and the creation of a map for the Alumni community. In addition, the task force has initiated networking and collaborative projects like clinical collaborations, research projects, cooperation with the ESC Atlas of Cardiology data collection project, as well as dedicated meetings like the DAS-CAM Symposium.
More projects are in the planning. Therefore, the ESC Academy and the Alumni Task Force count on your interest and support in making this community strong and influential at an individual and at a global level.
