Pushing the frontiers of cardiovascular biology

The Council for Basic Cardiovascular Science (CBCS), founded in 2004 with the mission to foster and support basic research in cardiovascular biology within the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), brought together ESC working groups and societies outside the ESC that shared a common interest in various aspects of cardiovascular biology and medicine. To pursue this aim CBCS with the continuous and generous support of the ESC since then has started a host of initiatives (https://www.escardio.org/Councils/Council-on-Basic-Cardiovascular-Science-(CBCS)). CBCS launched a biennial Summer School in Cardiovascular Biology and provides travel grants for young researchers to attend the annual ESC congress. In addition, CBCS offers the ESC Basic Research Fellowship to successful and promising young scientists in cardiovascular research designed to allow them to spend one year in a European research laboratory. Other initiatives of the CBCS to support young researchers and to acknowledge their achievements in their field of endeavour are the ESC First Contact Initiative Grant and the Outstanding Achievement Award.
