About Us
At EVBO, we believe an active, collaborative community of vascular biologists is key to driving breakthroughs in vascular research and translating findings into tangible health improvements.
Who We Are
The European Vascular Biology Organisation (EVBO) is a dynamic network of researchers, clinicians, educators and students dedicated to the study and advancement of vascular biology. Founded in 2006, EVBO works to bring visibility to vascular biology as a distinct discipline and to provide a platform for networking, training and collaborative research across Europe and beyond.

Our Mission
Our mission is to empower vascular biologists, by:
- Creating networking and visibility opportunities within the vascular biology community.
- Fostering scientific, educational, training and outreach activities that strengthen the discipline and support early-career scientists.
- Promoting vibrant, diverse and inclusive scientific collaboration that transcends national, institutional and disciplinary boundaries.
What We Do
- Training & Education: We organise summer schools, workshops and educational events for scientists at all career stages. NAVBO
- Networking & Community Building: Through our events and membership activities, we connect vascular biologists from across Europe, enabling collaborations, mentoring and peer support.
- Visibility & Advocacy: We promote vascular biology research by elevating its presence in scientific discourse and facilitating interaction between academia, industry and clinical practice.
Why It Matters
Vascular biology lies at the heart of many critical health issues. From cardiovascular disease and diabetes complications to tissue repair and angiogenesis. By strengthening the vascular biology community we help to:
- Accelerate scientific discoveries that could inform new diagnostics and therapies.
- Promote cross-disciplinary collaboration that bridges basic research, translational work and clinical application.
- Support the next generation of vascular biologists, ensuring the field continues to grow and innovate.
Our Values
- Excellence – We commit to the highest standards of scientific integrity, rigor and quality.
- Inclusivity & Diversity – We welcome participants from across Europe and beyond, from a wide range of backgrounds and career stages.
- Collaboration – We believe that the best advances happen when we share knowledge, resources and networks.
- Empowerment – We provide opportunities for early-career researchers and underrepresented voices to make an impact.
- Sustainability – We are investing in the future of vascular biology as a durable, evolving discipline.
