24th edition of ISCOMS 6th - 9th, June 2017 in Groningen, the Netherlands (International Student Congress of (bio)Medical Sciences)
ISCOMS is a stimulating environment for student research exchange and it gives students the opportunity to broaden their international social scientific network. We are contacting you in order to ask for your help in promoting the congress.
ISCOMS is one of world’s leading international biomedical student congresses. It provides students the opportunity to present their research, as well as to attend interesting lectures, student presentations from other students and interactive workshops to extend their knowledge on the latest biomedical research. ISCOMS also offers presenting participants an unique chance to participate in the ISCOMS Research Fellowships (IRF). The IRF give students the opportunity to acquire a taste of doing research in the Netherlands and more specific at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). Various research institutes at the UMCG are interested in welcoming young and talented foreign (bio)medical students to their institutes and give them the opportunity to experience what doing research in the UMCG is like for two weeks after ISCOMS. As a student you get the chance to perform research at a leading institute, meet top-researchers and learn about the possibilities of doing a PhD-programme in the Netherlands.
Besides the scientific programme we provide an extensive and fun social programme, which includes a city tour, a formal dinner and the World Wide ISCOMS Night party.
The 24th edition of ISCOMS will take place from the 6th until the 9th of June 2017 in Groningen, the Netherlands. Last year’s congress was a great success with 706 participants attending from over 64 countries.
The abstract submission is already open and closes on the 3rd of February 2017. In order for this year’s congress to continue in its legacy, as one of the biggest international student congresses, we need to reach passionate students from all over the world.
We would be very grateful for any help that you could provide. In particular, by promoting the congress through word of mouth, as well as through the distribution of our promotional material. We have attached a copy of our posters and flyers to this email, as well as a letter addressed to students who may be interested in the congress. If you could display the posters and forward the email to the students that would be greatly appreciated.
Also, we would like to kindly ask you to send us your post address or the post address of your university, so that we can send a hard copy of our posters and flyers to you.
For any questions or if you require more promotional materials, please do not hesitate to email us at iscoms@umcg.nl. Also, feel free to visit our website http://iscoms.com/.
