"Are you conducting innovative biomedical research? Are you interested making your work public by presenting it 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 annual (bio)medical student congresses taking place 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, nursing, kinesiology and other biomedical sciences! Last year we hosted 475 participants from 56 different countries. This year the congress will take place from the 3^rd to the 6^th of June 2014.

At ISCOMS, students can visit the congress as both presenting and non-presenting participants. The congress offers a scientific program with a pre-course on master research, student sessions (plenary, oral and poster) and workshops.  It also features keynote speakers, such as Dr. Breuer, Prof. Dr. Ing. van den Berg and a Nobel Laureate! We’ll also feature an exciting social program, including a formal dinner and a post-congress tour.
