The Scandinavian Society for Research in Cardiothoracic Surgery (SSRCTS) is a Scandinavian society with focus on cardiac, vascular, and thoracic research, and is a subdivision of the Scandinavian Association of Thoracic Surgery (SATS). Since 1989 an annual meeting has been hosted in Geilo, Norway. We invites all interdisciplinary researchers within this domain, including cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiologists, engineers, physiologists etc. to attend this meeting.

Clinical and experimental results are encouraged to be submitted for presentation. Both results finished for publication and preliminary results are welcome. In return we can promise a meeting with a relaxed synergetic atmosphere bridging different types of researchers with fruitful discussions during and after the scientific sessions, and with the potential of establishing collaborative consortia from networking.

The meeting is an excellent opportunity to share your latest scientific steps with your peers in the field of cardiac, vascular, or thoracic research, and to learn from experts in the field as well as to interact with the Scandinavian scientific network.
