SUMC Postgradaute Students Participate in ISCOMS in Netherlands

2019-06-27

On June 3-7, 15 postgraduate students from SUMC were sent abroad to participate in the 26th International Student Congress of (bio) Medical Sciences (ISCOMS) at University of Groningen (UG) in Netherlands. ISCOMS is an international academic congress organized by the University of Groningen and its University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). ISCOMS provided a platform for medical and biological students from around the world to enhance their academic exchanges.

During the conference, our students presented the latest achievements in their respective research fields through poster exhibition and oral reports. They also participated in several academic lectures and seminars, which enabled our students to learn about the most recent advances in medical and biological researches. Yang Dawei received the Session Winner award in the oral session, while Chen Zhimin, Qin Hailun and Xiao Qingyu were session winners in their poster sessions. 5 of the 15 SUMC postgraduate students were selected by the organizer to participate in the ISCOMS Research Fellowships (IRF) programme. In the IRF programme on June 10-22, the 5 students completed two-week research training under the guidance of Dutch supervisors and reported on their results.

This trip helped our students broaden their international vision and enhanced the exchanges and cooperation between SUMC and UG. Several students who would like to pursue a PhD in the SUMC-UMCG Joint Doctoral Programme at UG have had meetings with their potential supervisors at UG, and are expected to enter the programme within the year. So far, there have been 30 Joint doctoral students enrolled in the Joint Doctoral Programme, and 9 of them have received a doctoral degree from University of Groningen.
