Scientific programme overview
Our Scientific Organising Committee are curating a world-class agenda, with sessions designed to reflect innovation and progress in the PH field. Expect pro-con debates, exciting panel discussions, Dragon’s Den / Shark Tank interactive sessions and a very special PVD History Initiative lunchtime session to celebrate the progress and innovation we have made over the past 20 years, and how our past can best inform our future.
28 January and 1 February: Satellite meetings
All of the satellite Task Force and Innovative Drug Discovery Initiative (IDDI) meetings are free and open to everyone to attend (even if you are not a member of the group).
Thursday 29 January: Career Catalyst Luncheon
Following the success at PVRI 2025 in Rio, we are thrilled to bring to you the PVRI Career Catalyst Luncheon, a speed mentoring event offering micro-mentoring opportunities to early-career PH professionals and trainees. The event will facilitate networking and connection-building between early-career PH professionals and trainees and provide opportunities to connect with multiple established and globally renowned PH researchers in a less formal setting. Tickets are free for this function.
Friday 30 January: Women in PH Luncheon
For the third year running, we are absolutely delighted to bring the Women in PH Luncheon to you once again. Recognising the challenges women often face, it was originally established to support educational opportunities for women in PH and to strengthen their professional networks, aiming to build an inclusive and diverse community. Our mission is to unite and amplify women's voices to reinforce their collective interests. The event celebrates women, but men are welcome to attend as well. Tickets are free for this function.
The full scientific programme will be released soon—stay tuned!
