The next Cambridge Cardiovascular annual research symposium will take place on Thursday 23 April 2020 at the Moller Centre. Registration will open closer to the date.
The Cambridge BHF Centre of Research Excellence and the Cardiovascular Strategic Research Initiative have run a series of joint research symposia.
These annual events are free to attend and open to all Cambridge-area academic and clinical researchers. We host around 140 delegates across the University, hospitals, affiliated institutions, and industrial partners.

- Cambridge BHF CRE research symposium 2019
- Cambridge BHF CRE research symposium 2018
- Cambridge BHF CRE research symposium 2017
- Cambridge BHF CRE research symposium 2016
