The International Students Congress Of Medical Sciences (ISCOMS) is one of the world leading student congresses on (bio)medical sciences. We offer a stimulating venue for research exchange. A primary aim of the ISCOMS is getting medical students acquainted with research and it's many elements, and to support student research. Each year we offer an attractive programme with oral presentations, poster sessions and workshops so that young researchers from different countries from all around the world will be able to exchange their work and share new ideas and views. By offering such a meeting place, the congress pursues to stimulate international co-operation between research groups that actively stimulate student participation in their research. Thereby the congress provides a starting point for interested and talented students to pursue a career in medical research.
What is unique about the ISCOMS is that students can apply for an ISCOMS research fellowship (IRF). With an IRF, students can participate in a challenging two week research oriented programme in the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). Participating in an IRF could act as a stepping stone towards a PhD in the UMCG.
