The programme is organised around three complementary perspectives:

  • clinical genetics and cardiology,
  • genetic research,
  • and model systems and development

Confirmed speakers include Prof. Dr. Julie De Backer (Ghent University Hospital & Ghent University), Prof. Dr. Lars Allan Larsen (University of Copenhagen), and Dr. Sonia Stefanovic (Aix-Marseille University), alongside short talks and a poster session from early-career researchers. The day offers a chance to exchange knowledge, discuss current developments in cardiogenetics, and connect researchers and clinicians across universities and institutions, closing with a networking session.

Registration is open via an online form, with a deadline of 12 October 2026. More information can be found on the website https://cardiogeneticsleuven2026.github.io/
