I would recommend ESC Congress to my young colleagues because it's a great chance to share their research and gain visibility. It’s also very supportive for young cardiologists and those from low-income countries, as there’s help available with the registration fee.
Professor Marcelo Arruda Nakazone
Young abstract presenter at ESC Congress 2025
I presented an abstract for the first time at ESC Congress 2025. I got the opportunity to discuss with medical leaders and to get feedback on my research, which was really nice and stimulating. I decided to present my science at ESC Congress, rather than somewhere else, because here you can get much more feedback than in any other congress and you also have the possibility to interact with many different people and discuss your research - this is something that helps you to improve and challenge yourself, which is simply amazing.
Mr Lorenzo Cambini
Abstract presenter at ESC Congress 2025
Presenting in the Young Investigator Award Session was not only an honor, but also a unique opportunity to discuss our findings with leading international experts.
What I enjoyed the most was the interaction with colleagues from all over the world and the chance to receive immediate feedback that enriched our project. Personally, the experience has been highly motivating, and professionally it has opened new perspectives for collaboration and growth.
I chose to submit to ESC Congress because it is, without doubt, the most influential and diverse forum in cardiology, with unparalleled visibility and a genuine commitment to scientific excellence. What truly makes this congress different is the breadth and quality of its content, combined with the strong support it provides to young investigators.
To those who may be hesitant to take the step, I would say: definitely try. The process of preparing and presenting your research here not only strengthens the science, but also builds personal confidence. It is a transformative experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend.
