Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
There were some presidents of international student congresses from Germany and the Netherlands at this congress. The other students from some countries (Poland, Bulgaria, ...) introduced their future congresses to us, but unfortunately, we don't have anything to talk about our international student congresses in our country!
Then, i have a key question! Why we don’t have these congresses anymore?! I remember, we had the first International Student Congress at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences at 2007, and the second one at Iran University of Medical Sciences at 2009, but these congresses suddenly stopped after these years!
one of the important conditions to become a global university is to propagate research among students and these congresses can help those who wants to enter this way! |

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Istanbul became the capital of many big civilizations throughout the history, but most importantly Ottomans and Byzantines. You can see the most beautiful monuments of Turkey in the old city, which rests on the peninsula created by sea of Marmara and famous Golden Horn. Our accomodation was in KAYA HOTEL (not bad hotel, but not very well, price: 30 euros per night!). you can transported by buses, trams and subway and taxi. |
|
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
Turkey is a scientific bridge between two continents and this congress was an opportunity to merge the scientific contribution of more than 20 countries, in Istanbul.
The aim of the congress was to promote education, research, and social networking between its participants. The first task of this congress was to present the research projects conducted by the medical students.
Student Scientific Research Club (OBAK) of Istanbul University made a nice atmosphere for the participants and their organizing played an important role in international collaboration among students both socially and scientifically. The scientific and social programs were nice; however, it can be better by more precise programming at the next years.
Furthermore, these congresses provide an insight and a third dimension into the medical education. |
