Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe
The Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) is a professional body comprising interventional radiologists from Europe and overseas. The society has its headquarters in Vienna, Austria and was founded in 1985. It currently has approximately 4,200 members from around the world, including 24 national societies. CIRSE's objective is to provide continuing education to physicians and scientists with an active interest in interventional radiology and to promote research as well as registries.
CIRSE organises an annual congress with more than 5,000 participants, scientific meetings such as the European Conference on Embolotherapy and the European Conference on Interventional Oncology, as well as other educational activities such as courses focusing on specific procedures. It publishes a bimonthly medical journal entitled CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology as well as other publications such as newsletters and manuals.
