The prelude to the 6th NLHI-DCVA Translational Cardiovascular Research Meeting in Utrecht is hosted by Young@Heart.

Y@H has organised an exclusive pre-meeting event consisting of multiple workshops which teach you how to spend your time wisely.

Struggling with making the most of your time? Make sure to open time in your schedule for one of these workshops. You’ll become a more efficient and better balanced scientist. During this event you get to meet your peers and get a networking jump-start for the NLHI-DCVA meeting.

“It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time”
– Steve Jobs

The NLHI endorses talent by providing a grant for talented researchers with the possibility to work at a foreign, internationally recognized institute for up to a year. The idea behind the fellowships is for young people to both develop themselves and to bring skills and knowledge back to Dutch hospitals. The fellowship program is supported by the Foundation Friends of Cardiology (Vrienden van de Cardiologie).
