About the event
This year, the GfMVB Annual Meeting will take place in the German National Academy of Science - Leopoldina in Halle (Saale), November 12-14, 2026.
We have put together an exciting program with outstanding speakers covering most up to date aspects of cardiovascular research e.g., responses to damage, vascular dysfunction, repair & remodelling, metabolism, angiogenesis and vascular aging.
During the meeting, there will be interesting prizes and awards to be won for excellent work by young scientists and female scientists i.e. the Emerging Scientist Award, the Aletta Jacobs Award for young female scientists and best poster awards.
We therefore look forward to welcoming you to this exciting and engaging meeting.
