Welcome to the Geilo Meeting on Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research

Since its inception in 1989, the Geilo Meeting has been a hallmark event in Norway, originally focusing on cardiothoracic surgery under the auspices of the Scandinavian Society for Research in Cardiothoracic Surgery (SSRCTS).

Over the years, the scope of the meeting has expanded, and it has now been rebranded to reflect its broader focus on cardiovascular and thoracic research.

We proudly welcome researchers from diverse clinical and scientific backgrounds who share a passion for advancing knowledge in this vital field. Last year, we also successfully transitioned to a new venue, the historic Dr. Holms Hotel, adding to the meeting’s charm and appeal.

We invite interdisciplinary researchers, including cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, cardiologists, engineers, physiologists, and others, to join us. Whether your work is clinical, experimental, fully published, or in the preliminary stages, we encourage you to submit your findings for presentation. This meeting offers a relaxed yet stimulating environment that fosters fruitful discussions, networking, and potential collaborations across specialties.

The Geilo Meeting presents an exceptional opportunity to share your latest research with peers in cardiovascular, thoracic, and vascular fields, learn from leading experts, and engage with the Scandinavian scientific community.

This meeting is supported by the Scandinavian Association of Thoracic Surgery (SATS).
