With >35 000 participants, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress was one of the biggest ESC events ever and basic science activities were well implemented. I here summarize the basic science activities during the congress. This includes a section ‘Basic science activities in a nutshell’ summarizing the most important sessions as well as ‘Emerging science activities in the ESC’ section with special focus on novel research fields such as the characterization of long non‐coding RNAs in cardiovascular research.
