Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
I think that there should be a bigger budget for attending these conferences and this budget should be given to the students more than once because the price of the airplane ticket and attending the congress and all the accommodation is very high and most of the students cannot afford it, so they would not take part in such conferences. And also there should be a contact between our university and the staff of this conference because ISCOMS (International Student Congress of (bio)Medical Sciences) is one of the biggest annual student congresses in the world. We should provide students with money and scientific help so that they can present their result of day and night work in front of the dental student from all over the world. |

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Some of my experiences:
Make sure to reserve your flight ticket very soon because the price may increase.
Arrive at the airport 3 hours prior to your flight time.
Make sure that your accommodation is reserved for the exact days of you stay in the host country, you can reserve a hotel with the help of the travel agencies in Iran. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
When I arrived at the congress which was taking place in the Hospital of the University of Groningen in The Netherland, I went straight to the registration desk and paid for my registration and recieved my attendance card, and then I attended some of the presentations and workshops. One of the workshops that I participated was about dental implants that was very interesting and we put an implant in the fantoms that they gave us.On the day of my presentation I was very stressfull I practiced all the morning and then went to the class that my presentation was going to take place there, I made my speech, and some of the participants and the jury committee asked some questions that I answered them all. At the end of the oral session the jury selected me as the best presenter of that oral session (winner of the oral session dentistry) and gave me a certificate for that. This congress was helpfull, and made some very big changes in my life, I had the opprtunity to present my investigation in front of other dental students from all over the world, and also I made some very very good friend. |
