The mission statement of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is “to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease”. The ESC is the leading scientific society for cardiovascular health care professionals across Europe and increasingly the world. Recognising the need for democratisation of education in cardiology, the ESC has for many years embraced the digital world within its education programme. As in all areas of medicine, the COVID-19 pandemic required an agile response to be able to continue to provide not only a digital congress but also education, training and assessment in an almost totally digital world. In this paper we will describe the digital learning activities of the ESC, the successes and the challenges of the transformation that has taken place in the last 18 months as well as an overview of the vision for education, training and assessment in the post-COVID digital era. We understand the need to provide a portfolio of educational styles to suit a diverse range of learners. It is clear that digital CME provides opportunities but it is likely that it will not entirely replace in-person learning. In planning for the future, we regard the provision of digital CME as central to fulfiling our mission.
