About the symposium

A decade of uniting hearts and minds

The International Symposium of New Frontiers in Cardiovascular Research is a pinnacle gathering of the world's most eminent cardiovascular scientists — a vital forum for unveiling groundbreaking insights, fostering unprecedented collaborations and charting the future of cardiovascular innovation.

For its tenth edition, the symposium reaches Latin America for the first time, hosted in Lima with a program that bridges global frontier science and the cardiovascular research priorities of Peru and the wider region.

Notably, the international guests independently cover their own expenses to make this conference possible — a bold step that keeps knowledge accessible to everyone and bypasses the high fees that so often bar access to vital scientific gatherings.
