Faculty and Presenters Guidelines

Complete your My ESC Profile

To give you more visibility, we highly recommend that you review, complete or update your My ESC Profile (Contact Details / Professional Activity / Personal Profile). 

Your information will be featured on the ESC Congress online platform and ESC 365 (including your biography and your contributions to ESC related activities).

Declaration of Interest (DOI)

The existence of potential conflicts of interest does not necessarily indicate a bias. However, it is our ethical obligation to inform participants so that they are made aware of any relationship that might cause unintentional bias.

A potential conflict of interest may arise from various relationships, past or present, such as employment, consultancy, investments and stock ownership, funding for research, family relationship etc. This will allow the audience to take potential conflicts of interest into account when assessing the objectivity of the presentation.

Important:

When accepting the role(s) via the agreement form, Speakers / Chairpersons / Discussants / Presenters have to declare possible conflict(s) of interest. This information is accessible to edit and update as may be required. It is the person's responsibility to ensure the information is up to date in the system - a DOI slide will be automatically generated, as second slide, by the upload system based on the information entered. 

We request the DOI Slide to be displayed and read out loud to give the audience sufficient time to take note of the conflicts disclosed.

Chairpersons/Discussants must declare possible conflict of interest regarding the topics of the presentations orally at the beginning of the session.

Healthcare Industry Employees 

To ensure scientific integrity and independence in all ESC educational and scientific activities, the following rules apply to participation as faculty and presenters:

Individuals with main employment in the healthcare industry are not permitted to serve in Faculty/Presenter roles.

All Faculty and Presenters must disclose any financial relationships with industry in accordance with ESC’s conflict-of-interest policy.

Compliance with CME standards for independence and transparency is mandatory for all ESC-accredited activities.

Individuals who receive a salary, consulting fees, honoraria, or other financial compensation from a commercial entity in conjunction with their academic or hospital activities must declare this relationship at the time of acceptance (agreement form submission). Full transparency is required to allow appropriate evaluation of declared interests.
