ESM 
Welcome
The European Society for Microcirculation was formed over 50 years ago and now has approximately 600 members (including members of national societies).
Its aim is
- to advance integrative understanding of physiology and pathophysiology of terminal vascular beds
- to support classical microcirculation as well as vascular biology
- to use basic as well as clinical studies
Its biannual conferences are attended by about 700 scientists from all over the world.
ESM 2021 On-line Meeting 27th May
The biennial ESM General Assembly preceded the ESM2021 On-line meeting and was attended by a record number of 122 members! ESM2021 was a huge success, with more than 300 registrants from 17 countries including the USA and Canada. Our two plenary speakers Markus Sperandio and Joanna Kalucka gave inspiring presentations and the parallel sessions for the short oral presentations were terrific, with impressive science and lively discussions. The meeting abstracts will be published in a supplement of the Journal of Vascular Research in due course.
We thank all who participated and contributed to this really excellent meeting!

3rd Joint German Society for Microcirculation and Vascular Biology, and the Netherlands Vascular Biology Organisation (DEBS/MiVaB) meeting
3-5 November 2021, Göttingen, Germany
The ESM will be sponsoring two travel awards (€400/award) to present original research, at the meeting.
We are delighted to announce the third joint Vascular Biology meeting between the German Society for Microcirculation and Vascular Biology (GfMVB), and the Dutch Vascular Biology Societies (DESB, MiVaB), 3 - 5 November 2021, in Goettingen is now LIVE and open to receive your abstracts and conference registration.
Our meeting will bring together investigators from all fields of vascular biology for the exchange of new concepts and discussions of outstanding questions in the field. Angiocrine signaling, Angiogenesis, Arteriogenesis, Lymphatics, Vascular Mechanobiology, the Microcirculation in Cardiac Regeneration, Systems approaches & single cell sequencing, and the Microcirculation in Covid-19 patients are just a few of the topics addressed at our meeting. In particular we are very excited to welcome Nobel laureate Prof. Stefan Hell, who will spearhead a special symposium dedicated to novel imaging modalities in the cardiovascular system.
We expect that our event will take place in “LIVE” modus! So if you want to meet your colleagues in person, have vivid scientific discussions while enjoying a great atmosphere, this is what you have to do:
Visit our website now at https://gfmvb.com/ and select “Registration for the Goettingen 2021 conference”.
Good news for PhD students and Postdocs: we got great financial support from ESM, EVBO, DEBS and GFMVB and can now offer >15 travel and poster awards - just submit your abstract and select the appropriate travel award option in the “travel grant menu” during the registration procedure. In addition we will have the Aletta Jacobs awards (in total 3) for talented female scientists in the field of microvascular biology at the start of their career (PhD, first year Postdoc). More information on the Aletta Jacobs award and selection criteria can be found on our website: https://gfmvb.com/
