Scientific collaboration is essential for advancing knowledge and solving complex problems. When researchers from different fields, institutions, and countries work together, they bring together diverse skills, resources, and perspectives, creating opportunities for discoveries that would be difficult to achieve individually.

This collective approach makes it possible to address global challenges, such as heart disease, thus contributing to the development, improvement and optimization of processes and techniques applied to cardiology, helping to improve accurate diagnoses and treatments, with positive consequences on the quality of life of patients. In addition, collaborations can boost technological innovations, promote cultural exchange, and strengthen support networks among scientists, stimulating creativity and mutual learning.

Through the exchange of ideas, data, and experiences, science becomes more transparent and accessible, contributing to benefits that reach the whole of society. In summary, scientific collaboration not only accelerates advancements but also reinforces the shared purpose of improving the world.

In this year, the local committee of the Computing in Cardiology 2025 in partnership with the International Society of Computing in Cardiology is organizing the “Innovate Together: The Science Collaboration Summit” event on September 19, 2025, to be held in the Innovation Center of University of São Paulo (Inova USP), with the aim of promoting scientific collaborations between researchers from different parts of the world. The event will consist of 5-minute pitches where people present their research and possibilities for collaboration, and afterwards, we will have one-to-one meetings, where researchers will be able to talk to each other. The event is open, with no registration cost, but with limitations on the number of places. 

You can reach the Inova USP by taking a taxi from your hotel, and by taking the Yellow Line of the metro in the Consolação Station, that is close to the official hotels for CinC 2025, until the Butantã Station, and then walking for 40 minutes (see map below).
