ESVS Library Committee Chair

The ESVS is looking for a motivated member to become the next Chair of the ESVS Library Committee from June 2027 for a 3-year term.  The successful candidate will shadow the current Chair from September 2026 until June 2027.

The main focus of the ESVS Library Committee is the development of the ESVS Library: a “state-of-the-art” online educational platform seeking to develop knowledge in vascular surgery.

The platform includes various educational materials, such as videos from ESVS events (Webinars, Masterclasses, Annual Meetings and more), podcasts, abstract books and other documents.  In addition, the ESVS Library is a home to the ESVS electronic textbook– “Virtual Vascular” with chapters on pre-defined topics written by experts in different fields of vascular surgery and updated on a regular basis. More recently, the ESVS Library Committee has been working on launching E-Learning – interactive online modules which use a multitude of resources from our Library to follow case studies and teach specific areas of vascular surgery.

In this light, we are delighted to announce this call for candidates to lead the enthusiastic members of ESVS Library Committee in a role of Committee Chair.
