The International Student Congress Of (bio)Medical Sciences (ISCOMS) is one of the world’s leading student congresses in the field of (bio)medical sciences.

You can also acquire information on working and conducting research in Groningen during our network lunch, which gives you the opportunity to integrate with companies interested in recruiting ambitious (bio)medical students.
On top of all this, ISCOMS 2025 will feature an exciting social programme, including a formal dinner, the amazing World Wide ISCOMS Night and the Post Congress Tour.
