3rd Semmelweis International Vascular Symposium
Organized jointly by Semmelweis University and the Young Section of the Hungarian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery
Basic Medical Science Center of Semmelweis University
Budapest, Hungary
June 17-19, 2027
Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to invite you once again to Budapest for the 3rd Semmelweis International Vascular Symposium, jointly organized by Semmelweis University and the Young Section of the Hungarian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery, on June 17-19, 2027.
Building on the success and enthusiasm of our previous meetings, this year’s symposium promises to be an even more dynamic international gathering. We will bring together an outstanding faculty of leading vascular specialists from Europe and the United States to share the latest advances, emerging technologies, and evolving controversies in the medical, endovascular, and surgical management of aortic, cerebrovascular, peripheral arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases.
Over three exciting days, the scientific program will combine state-of-the-art plenary sessions and industry presentations with a strong emphasis on hands-on education and practical skills. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a dedicated cadaveric course, workshops in open vascular surgery and advanced endovascular techniques, and interactive training in vascular ultrasound imaging.
The symposium will also feature a poster competition and our Grand Prix in Surgical Simulation, providing young vascular specialists with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, technical skills, and innovation. A special program on Day 1 will be dedicated to the next generation of vascular specialists—including medical students, residents, fellows, and young physicians—creating an environment in which they can present but also learn directly from internationally recognized experts.
The symposium is about more than lectures and technical training. Networking, friendship, and international collaboration are at the heart of the meeting. We encourage you to meet colleagues from around the world, exchange ideas, debate challenging clinical problems, and establish new professional relationships that may lead to future research, education, and clinical collaborations.
Our venue, the impressive Basic Medical Science Center of Semmelweis University, provides an ideal setting for the meeting. Semmelweis University, with more than two hundred and fifty years of history, is one of Central Europe’s leading medical universities and a center of international medical education, research, and innovation.
And, of course, there is Budapest.
Set along the magnificent Danube, Budapest is one of Europe’s most beautiful and vibrant capitals. Between scientific sessions, you will have the opportunity to experience the city’s spectacular Parliament Building, the historic Buda Castle, St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Jewish Quarter and its magnificent synagogue, and the legendary thermal baths that have made Budapest the Spa Capital of the World. Cross the iconic 19th-century Chain Bridge from ancient Buda to lively Pest and discover the city’s celebrated restaurants, cafés, pastry shops, and distinctive Hungarian cuisine.
We warmly invite you to join us for the 3rd Semmelweis International Vascular Symposium—three days of cutting-edge vascular education, hands-on learning, international collaboration, and friendship in one of Europe’s most magnificent cities.
Come to Budapest to learn, teach, connect, and be inspired.
We very much look forward to welcoming you!
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure and honor for us to announce that in 2027, the Young Section of the Hungarian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (FÉSZ / HUVAS Young) will hold its next scientific meeting as part of the 3rd Semmelweis International Vascular Symposium.
One of the primary goals of HUVAS Young is to build a strong professional community that brings together the next generation of specialists in angiology, vascular surgery, and interventional radiology. We believe that modern vascular care increasingly requires a multidisciplinary approach and that, from the very beginning of our careers, it is important to understand one another’s perspectives, expertise, opportunities, and experience.
On June 17, the first day of the conference, we look forward to welcoming participants to a full-day HUVAS Young program. We will address current topics and challenges that we all encounter in everyday clinical practice, with particular emphasis on ensuring that young colleagues are not simply members of the audience, but active participants in the program. Through case presentations, interactive discussions, and sessions focused on practical clinical questions, we aim to create an engaging environment for shared learning, open discussion, and the exchange of experience.
Holding our meeting as part of an international conference provides a unique opportunity. The three days of SIVS will allow young Hungarian vascular specialists to learn from internationally recognized experts, establish new professional connections, exchange ideas with colleagues from around the world, and present their own scientific and clinical work.
For us, however, HUVAS Young is about more than a scientific program. We aim to build a community in which it is easy to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another—and where professional connections can develop into meaningful collaborations and lasting friendships.
We hope that many of you will join us in Budapest in June 2027 and that together we can enjoy three professionally rewarding, stimulating, and inspiring days.
We warmly welcome all young colleagues, as well as everyone committed to supporting and inspiring the next generation of vascular specialists!
