Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
ISCOMS is a student congress that takes place every year in Groningen city of the Netherlands. The executive committee consists of medical students, and some professors observe the process of the congress. I presented my poster at Microbiology session at which other students from different countries were present. Also, I met a professor in my field which he can guide me in my next projects. He gave some information about international researches to me. Another participants from different countries asked me about Iran and I gave the applicable information to them. |
