  《国际循环》：您即将成为ESH的主席。您如何看待ESH未来的发展呢？有没有新的合作者、欧洲新举措或其它新的东西即将出现？
    Prof.Redon: From its beginnings， the Society has grown over the years and consolidated but at the same time， I think the Society today is very well grounded in aspects of educational activities and occasions like this big meeting continue to prove to be very good. In terms of professional activities， we have established a program of a network of Centers of Excellence across Europe and even outside of Europe. We also provide an accreditation program for hypertension specialists even though it is not a specialty accepted by all countries， it provides a diploma of expertise in hypertension. At the same time， we are also supporting a lot of research. We have fellowships and each year we have two Fellows that are selected to work in the Centers of Excellence. We provide financial support for more than 400 young people here who come to present their research. These are things that are very important. My first commitment is to try to maintain these and， if it is possible， to improve on them. But we also have another element to the Society that is coming and I think will be very important. First of all， to push the working groups of the Society (and we have thirteen working groups now， some of them really very active) to be the engines of the Society for the future – giving ideas， adding research and actively participating in the process. Another important feature we are starting now is called an Affiliation and Association Program. We have a very good relationship with the other societies across Europe， but the idea is to establish more direct links so that we may more benefit more others and to further spread and consolidate the Society. In the same way， we have a lot of requests from Central America， North Africa， South America and other countries to assist with educational activities and the hope is that these direct links will help form relationships with these non-European countries in an Association Program. This is one topic I will be presenting at this meeting to the Presidents of the International Societies meeting. Of course， there are many other things. Another thing that I think is very interesting for the Society is to spread more widely what our activities are and to be more visible in the lay press and lay forums so that we might spread our message about hypertension and cardiovascular protection in general. As you will be aware， the title of the meeting changed to reflect this. We introduced cardiovascular protection because hypertension is not alone in this business as it is linked with diabetes， dyslipidemia and so on.

    Redon教授：从成立至今，本学会逐渐成长壮大，同时，我认为现在本学会很好地致力于教育活动方面，像本届会议一样的重大活动再次证明。在专业活动方面，我们在欧洲甚至欧洲以外成立了卓越中心网络项目。我们也为高血压专科医生提供了一个认证项目，尽管并非所有的国家都认同高血压专业，该项目提供高血压专业证书。与此同时，我们也支持了很多研究。我们有研究员基金，每年我们选定两名研究员在卓越中心工作。我们为400多位来这里报告研究的年轻人提供经济资助。这些是非常重要的事情。我的第一个承诺是努力维护，如有可能，进行提高。我们学会也有另一个即将出现的元素，我认为非常重要。首先，推动学会的工作小组（现在有13个工作组，有些非常活跃）打造成学会未来的领军人物——产生思路、丰富研究以及主动参与研究过程。我们正开始着手的另一个重要特色称为Affiliation and Associatio
