European Research Hub (ERH)
Developing clinical vascular disease research, together.
Pushing Research Forward
The European Research Hub was established in 2022 and seeks to increase participation in high-quality clinical research in vascular disease throughout Europe and internationally.
How to Join?
Collaboration Request
If you are interested in collaborating with the ERH on a specific project, please download and complete the collaboration form.
Once filled, please send it via email to info@esvs.org.
Participate in the Research Registry
The ERH is involved in several projects, liaising with industry partners and other interested parties. If your centre wants to get involved, please fill in the form.
Your data will be saved in the ERH-Registry of Research Centres, managed by the ESVS. It will only be accessible for members of the ERH, members of the ESVS Executive Committee, and the administrative office of the ESVS.

Surveys
We’re gathering insights to better understand the challenges and opportunities in clinical research.
Investigating practice patterns in symptomatic non-ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) in Europe
You are invited to take part in a short survey regarding the definition, diagnostic pathways, preoperative optimisation, and treatment practice of patients with symptomatic non-ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in Europe.
If your department performs elective and emergency AAA surgery, you are kindly invited to share your current standard practice for these patients. Optionally, you can further validate the information you have supplied in a second retrospective observational analysis by providing details of the last 5 patients treated for symptomatic non-ruptured AAA in your clinic. If you are interested, please enter your email address at the end of the survey.
Participants will be mentioned in the acknowledgements section(s) of all published results and outputs (if you consent). The survey data and your information will be stored securely and not shared externally. For more information on authorship, please contact info@esvs.org.
Wearable Technologies in Vascular Surgery
You are invited to take part in a short survey exploring vascular surgeons’ perceptions of wearable technologies in clinical and research practice.
Wearable medical devices are equipped with sensors, actuators, and dedicated software that monitor various metrics and assist in diagnosis, disease management, and recovery. They include, but are not limited to, smart watches, activity trackers, virtual/mixed-reality headsets, smart jewelry, and web-enabled glasses.
This survey, developed collaboratively by members of the European Research Hub (ERH), aims to assess how such technologies can support patient care, postoperative monitoring, and vascular research across Europe. Your participation will help shape potential future initiatives in this field.
Participation is open to all vascular specialists and trainees. The results will be anonymized and may be used to guide future ERH research activities.
