Is there a place for a (Virtual) European Network and reference centers on Pelvic Venous Disease (PeVD)? Thinktank?

Abstract

The creation of a virtual European network and reference centers, targeted at Pelvic venous disease, holds promising potential for the medical and research communities. Nevertheless, effective implementation of the initiative necessitates prudent planning, funding, and support. The establishment of such networks and reference centers requires certain considerations. We will elaborate on these considerations and are there best practices? The development from reference centers into (virtual) networks and even thinktanks is a precarious process of which is making its way from infancy to adulthood.
