COME ONE; COME ALL

The BigData@Heart project is happy to invite you to attend our exciting educational event at the ESC Annual Meeting in Barcelona on 29 August. We have designed this meeting to help acquaint participants with some of the genetic, -omic and big data topics important for our project. You and your colleagues are highly welcome and encouraged to attend. Attendees do not have to be active consortium members. Please RSVP to Maureen Cronin (Maureen.cronin@t-online.de) as soon as possible so we can plan the logistics of the meeting.

The event will take place on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 from 11:15 to 15:00 on the last day of the ESC Annual Meeting. The meeting will take place in the Ad Hoc Meeting room of the Fira GranVia Congress Center in Barcelona.
