Are you
conducting biomedical research and are you interested in presenting your work
on an international stage? Or are you simply interested in learning about the
latest biomedical research?
The International Student Congress of (bio)Medical
Sciences – ISCOMS - is one of the world’s biggest
(bio)medical student congresses and it takes place annually in Groningen, the
Netherlands. It is a venue for student research exchange aimed at undergraduate,
graduate and postgraduate students in the fields of medicine, dentistry,
pharmacy, human movement sciences, biomedical sciences and so on! Last year we
hosted 592 participants
from 50 countries. This year the congress will take place from the 2nd till the 5th of
June 2015.
Students can
visit the congress as both presenting and non-presenting participants. ISCOMS
offers a scientific programme with a pre-course on mastering your research,
student presentation sessions (plenary, oral & poster), engaging workshops
and a live-surgical operation. Presenting students also stand a chance to win the
first prize of €1500! You can also
gather information on working and doing research in Europe with our networking
lunch where you can integrate with companies interested in recruiting
international students and PhD opportunities with our ISCOMS Research
Fellowships (IRF).
We present
three keynote speakers: doctor Carl Figdor who programmed immune cells to
attack cancer cells, Chad Bouton who helped a man to move his paralyzed hand by
using his thoughts, and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry professor Martin Chalfie, who discovered the Green Fluorescent
Protein (GFP)! We’ll also feature an exciting social program, including a
formal dinner and a post-congress tour.
