The registration fee does not include accommodation. Check the Accommodation section below for more details on this subject.
Please note that the meeting is limited to 150 participants. You are strongly encouraged to register as soon as possible (if overbooked, registrations will be closed).
Payment is possible by credit card or bank transfer. Further details about the payment procedure is available through your personal mySHVM area.
Cancellations with a refund request must be sent by e-mail to the secretariat and must be accompanied by a valid justification. Refunds will be decided case by case by the organising secretariat. If accepted, cancellations by 19 September 2022 will be refunded less 50% of the registration fee; no refunds will be provided after 19 September 2022.
Abstracts are accepted exclusively through your personal mySHVM area; you will need to to have an account to have access to the latter. Signing up for an account does not require an immediate payment. However, please note that all submitted abstracts will be discarded if payment is not received by 12 August 2022.
The abstract submission deadline is 20 July 2022. The Scientific Committee will then review the received abstracts for inclusion in the scientific programme in one of the following formats:
All attendees who submit an abstract are strongly encouraged to submit also a 1-minute video promoting the abstract. There are no fixed guidelines for this video: it should be a “visiting card” of the results that you will be presenting, trying to attract other participants to discuss the work further with you during the meeting itself. The method and deadline for uploading this video will be provided through your mySHVM area.
The "William C. Stanley" Early Investigator Award (EIA) highlights the scientific accomplishments of promising young researchers and is a major focus of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Heart and Vascular Metabolism.
As in previous years, entrants for the EIA competition should be either students or postdoctoral fellows (postdocs or clinical fellows with over 6 years experience are not eligible for the competition). Previous winners of the "William C. Stanley" Early Investigator Award (or its precursor, termed "Early Investigator Commendation") are also not eligible for this competition.
The EIA competition format was redesigned and, since last year, you do not have to specifically sign up for the award. The organisers will automatically select videos (see “New format” section above) submitted by eligible junior participants and enter them into this year’s EIA competition. In other words, whereas the 1-min video is only encouraged (but not mandatory) for everyone submitting an abstract, if you wish to be included in the EIA competition you must submit a video.
The organisers will select four winners for the EIA, based on the abstract and the 1-minute video submitted by eligible candidates. For each winner, the registration fee will be waived and a personal check of 250 USD will be issued. The winners will present their work in a dedicated session (see the Programme, 18 October).
English is the official language for the meeting.
Accommodation for all SHVM participants will be at the Walkerhill (177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 04963, Korea) which will also be the conference venue (see the venue section). Payment for your accommodation is not included in the registration fee: you will be responsible for booking your room directly and for its payment (most major credit cards are accepted).
Unfortunately, there is an increasing number of fraudulent websites and email promotions claiming to offer registration and accommodation services. Please be advised that payment for your SHVM 2022 attendance can only be processed through this website, within your personal mySHVM area, after you sign up for an account. Also, the SHVM 2022 Organisers have secured preferential rates only with the hotel mentioned above (using the method indicated) and are in no way responsible for arrangements that you make. Please be aware of possible scams.
When planning your trip to Seoul, please remember to:
Please remember that the overall pandemic situation can evolve rapidly and you are strongly adviced to check the official portal for the latest requirements.

Departing from Walkerhill Hotel, at 6:00 a.m., Korean organisers will guide interested participants along the trail.
Achasan Mountain is a place famed for its scenic views of the the city and Hangang River. The mountain isn't very tough and offers many easy hiking trails. Starting from the Walkerhill Hotel, hikers walking along the mountain trails will reach Achasanseong Fortress. At the peak of the mountain, visitors will be able to see an unimpeded, open panoramic view of the city from Jamsil to Namsan and Bukhansan Mountain to Achasan unfolding before their very eyes. Hike to the top and enjoy the refreshing air along with the stunning scenery.
SHVM participants will be taken by bus from Walkerhill Hotel to Gyeongbokgung Palace at 14:00 on Monday. A guide will provide a palace tour lasting approximately 2.5 hours. At the end of the tour, participants will move to Korean BBQ restaurants near the palace for dinner. Following the meal, participants can either return to the hotel by bus or do what they choose for the rest of the night.
Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first and largest of the royal palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty. Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace was located at the heart of the newly appointed capital of Seoul (then known as Hanyang) and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces (the others being Gyeonghuigung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace), Gyeongbokgung served as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty. The Korean government has invested much time and effort into rebuilding, restoring, and maintaining the palace for future generations. Visitors to Gyeongbokgung can also visit the National Palace Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum of Korea as they are located on the palace grounds.
The Seoul Guided Walking Tour (www ) is a free program offered by the City of Seoul designed for tourists who want to see Seoul’s top tourist attractions on foot under the expert guidance. Accompanying guest and attendees staying outside the meeting dates are encouraged to book in advance.
