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 is not just any regular congress however, it is a non-profit organisation made up of students that aims to promote student research and the international exchange of it. Throughout our three day congress we therefore offer a stimulating venue for student research exchange and give students the opportunity to broaden their social and scientific network. Our scientific programme includes different researches from students all over the world which are presented in poster, oral or plenary form, all in front of an international and professional audience. Along with these student sessions there will be fascinating keynote lectures and hands-on workshops. Along with a rich scientific programme we also have an elaborate social programme, filled with dinners and parties giving a chance for all the participants to get to know and have fun with each other and the ISCOMS organisation. For this years’ edition, we will make sure that all activities planned will be within the confines of the COVID-19 confinements.

Future Health announced today that it has completely digitalised its annual in-person event at ExCeL London 

Future Health has completely rebranded during lockdown, and the flagship face-to-face event Future Health Innovations at ExCeL is now complemented by a global virtual conference series, under the brand UK Health Week. Free for delegates to attend, it is CPD and CME accredited. 

Participants will be able to connect, meet buyers and partake in cross border purchasing, education and deal making, enabling an increased ROI and profitable encounters with its AI powered networking software. 

Further Health Weeks are being rolled out around the world over the course of the coming months, and will be territory specific. Dawn Barclay-Ross, Event Director commented: “I think there will always be a place for face-to-face events; and we are contracted with ExCeL for a live ‘in person’ event four years in advance to 2025. However, as a result of international travel restrictions, health professionals in global markets are looking for on-line engagement”. 

Future Health offers buyers and sellers the ability to operate on line, and to research and access the products and services that their hospitals and citizens desperately need. 

Dawn concluded, “In the immediate post COVID era, health buyers want to be able to operate from the comfort of their desk or smart device, and they now can, from literally anywhere in the world”.
