- Represent the link between EVST and the Programme Committee, giving a voice to the young vascular surgeons within the scientific programme of the Annual Meeting, in particular with regards to any EVST sessions organised through the Programme Committee.
- Sit on the Programme Committee and therefore attend the related meetings during the term. There is usually at least one meeting a month online and one face-to-face meeting a year. The representative may be asked to prepare some slides and report on recent news or updates. Travel, hotel and registration costs are covered by ESVS for the one face-to-face meeting, up to a limit.

One meeting is usually held during the Annual Meeting of the ESVS. The representative may be asked to prepare some slides and report on recent news or updates.
- Attend EVST Council meetings – usually two per year. In general, the EVST Programme Committee representative must cover their own costs to attend the EVST Council meetings, except for the Council meeting held at the Annual Meeting.

Please note that a 2027 European trainee membership is mandatory. DO NOT APPLY if you do not intend to purchase the membership as it will be verified.
These will become available in the first week of December. Previous EVST and National Society involvement (Councillor or other) is an advantage for the application, as is experience in organising educational events. EVST members at the end of their training are also invited to apply because experience as a trainee and/ or within the EVST can be of benefit. We wish you luck in your application!
