Programme relationship evidence
Official Universitätsklinikum Würzburg news dated 16 January 2025 explicitly reports that its EACTS-funded AF fellow Mohamed Hassan will spend four weeks with Professor Mark La Meir at UZ Brussel. This documents a 2025 host teaching relationship. The fresh 2026/27 EACTS page still does not name the assigned mentor or guarantee a placement with him; current assignment remains unconfirmed.
