Dear colleagues, dear friends,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you in Thessaloniki, Greece for LIVE 2013-Leading Innovative Vascular Education, the annual international meeting of the Institute of Vascular Diseases held every year in Greece in collaboration with the Stony Brook University Medical Center, New York, USA in a joint scientifi c, teaching, administrative and fi nancial effort.

Since our fi rst experiment in 2010 and for four years now, we have been focusing on a single goal: hopefully to make LIVE a leading vascular forum beyond the Greek borders, open to friendships and collaborations, that will gain worldwide warm acceptance and recognition for its scientifi c merit in the vascular fi eld. The success of the three past LIVE shows us that we walk on the right path towards this goal, enhances our passion and willingness for continuing this educational undertakings.

Committed to its main aim, LIVE 2013 symposium is formed to be attractive and towards the needs of young researchers-trainees, appropriate to share knowledge and experience on current evidence. It will give participants the opportunity to learn and keep updated from world renowned experts, to contribute to an open dialogue about all up to date technology advances regarding diagnosis and management of vascular pathologies.

This year’s scientifi c programme incorporates rather interesting training sessions with the joint effort of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS), the European Vascular Surgeons in Training (EVST), the European Society for Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery (ESCVS), the Institute for the Study and Education on Thrombosis and Antithrombotic Treatment (ISETAT) and the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, highlighting this way the importance of the European vascular network. We extent therefore our sincere thanks to the administrations of all above for their contribution.

We cannot be but grateful to all those who worked for the organization and realization of LIVE 2013, to all invited faculty, Greek and foreign.

Thank you for being with us in Thessaloniki. Learn something new, meet colleagues and friends, enjoy your time and make this event memorable!

Guidelines for all Invited Faculty & Presenting Authors


18 LIVE2013

It is very important to respect the fl ow of the session and the exact time available for each presentation and therefore you are requested to be consistent with the time slots. It is ad-visable to rehearse your presentation prior to the meeting to ascertain that the time is not exceeded.*To the attention of Mac users: Please make sure to come with the suitable adapter and to also have a backup PPT for PC.You are kindly requested to meet with the technical support personnel at least three (3) hours before the beginning of the session, in order to assure compatibility (or backup solu-tions).

B. Time Slots (applies to Chairmen/Moderators)

The profi le of LIVE 2013 is mainly educational, focusing on providing high quality continuing education by the presenta-tion of the latest signifi cant advances in the area of vascular diseases and encouraging the interaction and open discus-sion between speakers and participants.As a chairman or Moderator, you should ensure the smooth progress of the session, time management as well as encourage discussion and interaction between faculty members and the audience by allowing suffi cient time for questions from the audience.In order to be helped, a timer will be running on the screen along with the presentation. After a warning (before the last minute of the presentation) the projection will be stopped and you will have to ask from the presenter to conclude. By the end of each session you will call all presenters to the panel in order to start the discussion.

D. Confl ict of Interest Disclosure (applies to all invited faculty)

It is the policy of the European Accreditation Council for Con-tinuing Medical Education (EACCME) to ensure that all Live Education Events (LEEs) that receive accreditation will be balanced, independent, objective, scientifi cally rigorous and in the best interest of patient care. Thus, in compliance with UEMS guidelines, speakers/chairmen participating in LIVE 2013 are strictly requested to disclose or indicate poten-tial confl icts of interest (with LIVE2013 sponsors) that might cause a bias. More specifi cally:

(Essential criterion)In accordance with criterion 27 of document UEMS

2012/30 “Accreditation of Live Educational Events by the EACCME”, the Provider must ensure that all members of the

Faculty will provide written declarations of potential or ac-tual confl icts of interest. These declarations must be made

publicly available (either in printed form or in electronic form on the website of the organiser of the LEE). The EACCME®



LIVE2013 19

considers it a responsibility of the head of the Scientifi c and/or Organising Committee to ensure that actual confl icts of interest are resolved. The EACCME® has provided a tem-plate, available on the EACCME® website, that provides a

guide as to what information must be declared. These decla-rations must be retained for at least one year after the event

for potential review by the EACCME®.Therefore you are requested (if not already done) to:

Advise the 1. LIVE2013 sponsors fi leDeclare any potential or actual confl ict of interest regarding 2. the above sponsors and topics of the presentation(s)

- at the Second Slide of your PowerPoint Presentation (if speaker) - or orally at the beginning of the session (if chairman, moderator etc)

Complete and return the3. COI Disclosure Form (available at the Secretariat)

The existence of potential confl icts of interest does not necessar-ily indicate a bias. However it is your ethical obligation to inform organisers and participants so that they are made aware of any

relationship with the sponsors that might cause unintentional bias. A potential confl ict of interest may arise from various relationships, past or present, such as employment, consultancy, funding for re-

search, investments, family relationship etc.

E. PPT Presentations Publishing - Permission (applies to Invited Speakers) According to the LIVE 2013 Directors’ willingness, by the end of scientifi c programme of each day, PPT presentations of passed sessions will be published on the Laptops (Desktops) at the Internet Corner(s), in order participants to be able to view and download them. Due to the importance of your presentation we would like to request for your permission to publish it in this specifi c area. We guarantee that the fi le cannot, at any time, be modifi ed or used for any other reason. Of course we will be very glad to eliminate any slides that you indicate, from the presentation itself, just so it remains valid. Due to legal reasons, LIVE 2013 organization cannot be held responsible for any of the materials included in your presentation. It is of your responsibility to ensure that any part of the slide show (fi gures, tables, images, etc.) is free of any third party right (copyright permission and the right to republish scientifi c information). Due to the importance of your presentation, we must have your permission to publish it in this specifi c area. You are also requested to inform the Technical Support Personnel, when delivering your presentation(s), in case you do not wish or not agree your presentation(s) to be in participants’ disposal for down-loading if there is no written permission.
