Exchange information and discuss challenges in cardiovascular science

The Netherlands Heart Institute supports each working group with a maximum budget of €5.000 per year. This can be used to organise meetings, invite foreign speakers, etcetera. The Netherlands Heart Institute provides meeting rooms in the Holland Heart House in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The NLHI Service center provides logistical support in organizing your events.
On request, one of our project managers will assist you to write a grant proposal.

Working Group activities
The working group meets at least 2 times a year in the Holland Heart House and organizes at least 1 public meeting a year in the Holland Heart House (for example: Thematic session, Site-visit, session during the annual Translational Cardiovascular Research Meeting). The working group writes grant proposals if and when there is an appropriate call.
