Welcome from the organisers

On behalf of the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) and the Italian Atherosclerosis Society, we are proud to invite you to participate in the 90th EAS Congress in the beautiful city of Milano, Italy. Milano is a historic city, with a vivid day and nightlife, and conveniently located with the beautiful lake area and the Italian Alps.

During the meeting, we will explore the latest developments in basic, translational and clinical research into the causes of atherosclerosis and related vascular disease, and how these may affect the clinical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. One of the key features of our Congress is the high-level interdisciplinary exchange between clinicians and basic researchers. With many world-leading experts already confirmed, the EAS 2022 Milano scientific programme will offer an overview of the latest current research in the field – including the award-winning Anitschkow Lecture, outstanding Keynote Lectures, state-of-the-art Plenary Sessions, and focused Workshops and Advance Clinical Seminars. We firmly believe that the personal meeting – presenting and discussing one’s work with others and sparking ideas from others’ work – is the key to progress in science. We encourage you to join us – to ask questions and share ideas during the Science at a Glance and Poster Sessions.

The EAS  mission is also to support young scientists in progressing their careers through Young Investigator Fellowships. This important initiative offers early-career scientists the opportunity to take part in the Congress, to learn through presenting their own research, attending the scientific programme, and getting to know others in the field. Information about Fellowships can be found on the Society website, and we welcome abstract submissions from young scientists.

The city does its utmost to make travelers and congress guests feel safe and comfortable. Safety is at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic even more important. The Italian government, the Regione Lombardia, and the Milano municipality are acting with great efficacy to prevent the viral transmission we are confident that by May 2022 will be able to run a meeting in presence. Most important, the spaces and the necessary measures at the conference venue, Milano Congress Center, have been carefully designed to guarantee the delegates’ safety and health.

We are extremely happy to invite you to attend the EAS 2022 Conference in Milano, on May 22 – May 25, 2022. You are sure to gain new friends, new ideas, and inspiration to take your studies of atherosclerosis and related vascular disease to new levels!
