founded in 1973 and was initially called the Cardiac MuscleResearch Group. David Hearse (working in London with Professor Sir Ernst Chain in the Department of Biochemistry at theImperial College of Science and Technology) and Keith Gibson (working withPeter Harris at the Cardiothoracic Institute in Beaumont Street) were lamenting the lack of a forum in which to discuss current issues in basic cardiovascular research. At that time, the British Cardiac Society did not admit basic scientists and they felt that Britain needed a forum in which researchers could discuss and present their results. <br/>They formed an initial committee with PeterHarris as the first Chairman and organised a small symposium of two sessions inDecember of 1973. The meeting was very well attended with over 60 delegates.The second meeting (2 April 1974) took place in Birmingham on ‘The differences between skeletal and cardiac muscle’, and the third (18 November 1974), was held at Imperial College in London discussed ‘Acute myocardial ischaemia’, In 1987 it was proposed that the name be changed to the BSCR, with the inclusion of ‘vascular’ in the name to extend the remit of the membership. <br/>The BSCR became a charity in 1992. This allowed the introduction of a travel bursary scheme to subsidise research students attending meetings which is still very popular with younger members. The BSCR continues with its main aim being to provide a forum for scientists to discuss their research and, in particular, to provide a platform for students and early post-docs to present their work. To facilitate this, the society continues to organise two main meetings a year. The Spring Meeting forms part of the annual conference of the British Cardiovascular Society (as the British Cardiac Society now is) and is organised with the British Atherosclerosis Society to provide the basic science wing of that conference. <br/><br/>The Autumn Meeting is more of a themed meeting and includes a session dedicated to the <a href="/job-opportunities-public">Bernard and Joan Marshall Awards</a> which allows the BSCR to showcase some of the best young investigators in the society and to invite leaders in the field to give inspirational presentations of their work.</p></div></div><div data-w-tab="Tab 3" class="about_tab_content w-tab-pane"><div class="tab_content--wrap"><div class="tab_image--wrap"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/62dea4bd1d64bfa7e3c6fe2f/62dea4bd1d64bfb2fbc6ffd8_IMG_3622.jpeg" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 479px) 53vw, (max-width: 767px) 36vw, (max-width: 991px) 37vw, 40vw" srcset="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/62dea4bd1d64bfa7e3c6fe2f/62dea4bd1d64bfb2fbc6ffd8_IMG_3622-p-1080.jpeg 1080w, https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/62dea4bd1d64bfa7e3c6fe2f/62dea4bd1d64bfb2fbc6ffd8_IMG_3622.jpeg 1350w" alt="science stuff" class="tab_image"/></div><p>The affairs of the BSCR are directed by an<a href="/committee"> elected committee</a> of clinical and non-clinical cardiovascular scientists. <br/></p></div></div><div data-w-tab="Tab 4" class="about_tab_content w-tab-pane"><div class="tab_content--wrap"><div class="tab_image--wrap has--padding"></div><p>The BSCR seeks to provide a forum for cardiovascular scientists at all career stages. As such, our membership represents a diverse community providing a platform for the exchange of knowledge, collaboration and provision of mentorship. To facilitate this, our new website includes a <a href="/private/members-area">members area</a>. Here, members can access travel awards, funding opportunities and recordings of past webinars and symposia. <br/>Coming soon is aBSCR mentorship programme, a techniques hub and journal club. The members area also provides convenient management of membership and subscription. To provide a physical presence, the BSCR organises two <a href="/meetings">main meetings</a> each year. These meetings adopt a symposium format over two days with state-of-the-art contributions by prominent researchers from the UK and abroad. Free poster or oral communications broadly relevant to the theme of the meeting are invited from members of the Society and provide a friendly forum for discussion of current work. Contributions are especially encouraged from early career members and student members of the Society are eligible to receive travel bursaries to assist attendance. Abstracts from the spring meeting are published in Heart and the abstracts from the autumn meeting are published in Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy. <br/>The annual <a href="/job-opportunities-public">Bernard and Joan Marshall Research Prizes</a> are also presented at our Autumn meeting. In addition to our main meeting, the BSCR organises workshops and on-line symposia that take place throughout the year. Themes are varied and highly focussed towards particular areas of research or specific techniques. Wider networking is encouraged by a BSCR symposium at the annual meeting of the BritishCardiovascular Society. <br/>Members of the BSCR also benefit from reduced-rate membership of theInternational Society for Heart Research.<br/><br/>Our members also receive exclusive discounts from our <a href="https://www.bscr.org/platinum-member/platinum-member">platinum
