The Cardiovascular Network is open to cardiovascular researchers from all sectors and at all career levels. The purpose of the Network is to accelerate the adoption of 3Rs approaches and facilitate collaborations across the cardiovascular research community.

Learn more on our Cardiovascular Network page.

The launch event will be chaired by Professor Chris George (University of Swansea). Alongside talks from invited speakers there will be opportunities to discuss potential new collaborations and showcase new technologies, including networking sessions, flash talks and poster presentations. The event is free to attend, but registration is essential. 

Please note there is no hybrid option for this event. If you are interested in joining the Network but are unable to attend the in-person launch event, you can become a member of the Network online to receive future updates.
