European Society for Microcirculation Meeting - Aarhus
2023-04-24 - 2023-04-27
European Society for Microcirculation Conference Aarhus, Denmark 24 – 27 April 2023
Abstract Deadline EXTENSION – 29th January 2023
Registration and abstract submission for the ESM conference in Aarhus, in the spring of 2023 is now open and has been extended. We have an amazing group of faculty, who will deliver wonderful, insightful lectures on many aspects of the microcirculation – this meeting is probably the best microvascular conference in the world!
We have programmed ample time for networking and we look forward very much to welcoming you in Aarhus.
Programme here: ESM Conference programme 2023
Please note that there is a unique opportunity for junior microvascular researchers to take part in the free course entitled “What you need to know about life in the arterial wall” . The course encompasses the topics of the conference and will assist the junior researchers to fully appreciate the conference lectures and reflect on the content following the meeting.
