VAS-International Consortium (VAS-IC)

VAS International Consortium aims and projects

Members: National/European/International Scientific Societies/Organizations and Universities

Aims

The VAS’ proposal for the creation of the VAS-International Consortium comes from the need to permanently unite energies and high quality expertise towards a goal of enforce Angiology/Vascular Medicine in a borderless collaboration to obtain concrete and useful results in the different field, asking Universities, Associations/Scientific Societies and high-level Organisations for a stable and organised collaboration.

What does this mean in practice?

No interfering with the competence of participating organizations. Instead, each becomes the reference point on their own specific expertise, avoiding duplication and waste of effort and working together as unique body in commune projects.

The Consortium is the International official Body able to cooperate in a stable way also with Institutions/Organizations and Societes of the different Continents, interested in the Projects.

Taking part in EU or International Calls is one of the main projects of the Consortium. No overlapping, no conpetition, but acting as a strong, collaborative body, with multiple country, multiple continents and multidisciplinary expertise and a unique shared style for the benefit of each participant and the VAS-IC in toto.
