Meet our partners at ISCOMS

The International Student Congress Of (bio)Medical Sciences, also known as ISCOMS, is one of the world’s leading student congresses in (bio)medical sciences. ISCOMS provides the opportunity for medical students to present their research to their peers on an international platform. The 30^th edition of ISCOMS will take place from the 5^th until 8^th of June 2023, at the University Medical Centre Groningen. 

Last year’s congress took place in hybrid form, with a total of 646 participants from more than 70 different countries. This year’s congress will take place fully in physical form.

Students can visit the congress both as a presenting and a non-presenting participant. ISCOMS offers a scientific programme with a pre-course on mastering your research and three congress days in which student presentation sessions (plenary, oral, and poster), interactive workshops, a patient lecture and a surgical operation will take place. Furthermore, during the congress you can attend keynote lectures given by Prof. Maria Yazdanbakhsh PhD, Prof. Michael N. Hall PhD, as well as Prof Samuel Achilefu MD PhD and Prof. Robert S. Langer ScD, who has won over 220 major awards in biomedical technology.

Besides this, students can explore PhD opportunities at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) with the ISCOMS Research Fellowships (IRF). The IRF is a challenging two week programme, in which students may actively participate in research at one of the UMCG Research Institutes and gather a great deal of knowledge related to the topic of research. The IRF are available for presenting participants exclusively.

Are you interested in presenting your research at ISCOMS? Send in your abstract! The abstract submission is open until the 29^th of January 2023. For more information visit our website www.iscoms.nl or mail us at iscoms@umcg.nl
