EuroPRevent 2014

The theme for next year is Global Cardiovascular Health.

The theme for next year is Global Cardiovascular Health. Cardiovascular disease has long ceased to be a problem uniquely linked to affluence and Western societies. There are more cardiovascular deaths in India and China than in all developed countries together. The lessons learned in the West need to be blended with the specific cultural, social and etiologic factors that determine the steady rise of metabolic and cardiovascular disease around the globe. The dynamics of the disease patterns, the parallel persistence of traditional diseases of poverty, and the enormous impact on societies and health of individuals demand that we join forces to enter a new era of fight against the burden of cardiovascular disease on an unprecedented scale. Treatment can never provide a complete answer and prevention is the only solution. As prevention is the passion of those gathering at the congress, EuroPRevent 2014 is an event you should not miss.

Our congress will bring the finest international health experts together to present their research and translate it into usable knowledge for practitioners, health care workers, researchers, and policy makers. It is also a forum where our industry partners may network with the most influential policy makers and prevention experts across the globe. In addition to the free registration that we offer our young investigators who are selected to present and compete onsite for the two award sessions, next year we will be offering the Amsterdam Young Scientist Award. This prestigious award is generously provided by the city of Amsterdam and will carry a stipend of 2 500 Euros to each winner (two in total). This initiative further emphasises the wish of the EACPR to show that EuroPRevent is a congress that greatly supports young researchers and that is also provides a place for networking and exchange.

Our host is the beautiful city of Amsterdam, one of the greatest cities in the world. From its canals to world-famous museums and historical sites, Amsterdam is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe. 

The programme will be rooted in the tradition of the previous editions and will provide ample room for sharing new research findings, networking, education and making new friends. As this year's meeting will emphasise the global approaches to prevention, joint sessions with local, European and International Associations, focusing on the various existing prevention and implementation methods and programmes will be organised. Be sure to send us abstracts of your most recent scientific work for presentation and mark the date firmly in your agenda.
