All-time high at the 9th annual meeting of afib.no!

By K.S.F on 21. October 2025 • ( 0 )

Thank you all for a fantastic annual meeting on September 25-26, 2025. We reached an all-time high with 85 registered participants! It was a real pleasure to listen to all of the magnificent presentations, and a delight to see that there were more questions from the audience than time allowed for. The discussions continued in the breaks, and it was probably the one meeting where we have struggled the most with keeping the schedule, but that is a side-effect we can live happily with!

We must highlight the sessions on AF and Digital Health and User involvement in AF research wich were truly inspiring. Professor Linz shed light on how digital solutions may improve the monitoring of AF-patients moving forward, while Professor Brundel dazzled us with an innovative approach to meaningful user involvement, leveraging the AFIP digital platform and patient questionnaires to define new research questions and clinical trials.

The early-career session focused on the transition from PhD to established researcher and was well-visited with fruitful discussions. Thank you all for your active involvement. We hope that the discussions continued when you arrived home, and that the infrastructure around this transition will improve across our countries and institutions.

Congratulations to Kajsa Strååt for the Best Oral Abstract Award and to Magnar G. Solberg for the Best Poster Award!

We would like to honour Professor Arnljot Tveit who has been leading the network since it was established in 2017 and until September 2025. Afib.no wouldn’t exist without your passion for AF research and dedication to promoting the careers of young AF researchers. Thank you, Arnljot!

A big welcome to the new leader of the network, dr. Ingrid E. Christophersen, who is equally passionate about AF research and who look forward to welcoming you all again at Lysebu next year!
