Welcome
Dear colleagues,
as the corona virus continues to spread and we will have to face travel restrictions also in the near future, we have decided to set up the 13th congress of the ECSVD as a virtual meeting.
We look forward to an exciting and stimulating scientific programme and hope that you will join us online this time!
Full details of the scientific programme will be published soon on this website!
Looking forward to welcoming you online soon!

Why a virtual congress?
It was decided to transform the 13th congress of the ECSVD into a fully virtual congress. This will offer the participants the possibility for educational exchanges, scientific news and best practice updates while protecting the safety, health & well-being of all congress participants
Pre-recorded or live?
To ensure a high quality presentation, these are recorded in advance and then streamed during a session that is preceded by a live introduction. If possible, live questions will be answered.
Our goal is to make the virtual discussions as dynamic as possible and offer opportunities for interaction between speakers and delegates.
Important dates
The virtual congress will take place from September 10 to 11, 2020.
