Conclusions & remarks Anna Marseglia and Hilde van den Brink
The aim of the ECI VasCog meetings is to provide ECI with an extra opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their work by peers as well as experts in the field. Therefore, only abstracts submitted by ECI were considered for presentations, but the meeting is open for all interested to attend. We hope that these online events will help connect ECI researchers that are working on similar topics. Should you have ideas for topics for future meetings, please reach out to us on vascogeci@gmail.com
We are looking forward to meeting you online!
