ISSC International Student Scientific Conference

ISSC is an annual conference organised by students of Medical University of Gdansk for the international academic community.
Our aim is to create a space for young scientists to share their work and present findings in front of an international audience and learn from world-renowned professionals.
We invite students of medicine and medical sciences as well as young doctors to participate passively and actively during workshops, student sessions and keynote lectures.

ORGANISATION
The conference consists of several panels covering fields such as internal medicine, pharmacology, modern medical techniques, sports medicine – when it comes to organisers’ ideas on this – sky is the limit so everyone will certainly find something to meet their expectations. During the event you may participate in a competition, take part in workshops, listen to lectures, present your findings at the poster competition.
Every year the quality of the meeting is guaranteed by our patrons, among them the President of Gdansk , Gdynia and Sopot patronage of the Pomorskie Marshal.

PLACE
While you are here, come and see one of the most dynamically blooming cities in Poland and Europe – Gdańsk. Our city is a part of a cultural and social conglomerate of Tricity, together with neighbouring Sopot and Gdynia, each of them being full of life and stories. Take your time to visit and learn in the European Solidarity Centre and Museum of the Second World War, stroll along the beach, admire the beauty of the Old Town's architecture and be sure to stop in one of the cosy little cafés in the heart of the city.

You did it!
You’re finally here, safe and
sound in your hotel room. And what now? Well, the city (or I should rather say Tricity) offers you a number of opportunities. Whether you are the sightseeing kind of person, science freak or party lover - you will certainly find something just to meet your expectations.

And so if you are a history lover
the best place for you to visit would be the
Old Town. It is just 20 minutes walk from the
University or 5 minutes tram drive. The largest gothic church in Europe known as the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or St.Mary’s Church, rectangular (unlike in other cities in Poland) central place (called Długi Targ and Długa Street), a number of beautiful gates, innumerable churches, museums located in the most magnificent buildings in Gdansk such as the Arthur’s Court or the Crane – that is just to begin with ;) A place certainly worth visiting is the newly opened European Solidarity Centre by the shipyard. Provocative as it is from the outside (compared with the historic surrounding) it is incredibly well designed inside, being an example of the most creative modern architecture.

Another thing you mustn’t forget
is the fact that Gdansk is a seaside city!
Well, let’s face it – it is very unlikely that in April you will get temperatures high enough to sunbath between the lectures and workshops but a refreshing walk on the beach with a soft breeze on your cheeks is an experience to tick on your list, no doubt. If you have about an hour to spare you can take your walk to Sopot where you will find the longest pier in Europe. And if it’s already evening – stay in Sopot as it is said to be the best spot to party in the Tricity.

Gdynia – the youngest of the Tricity
metropolis and a must-see for any sea
lover. Built in the times of the Free City of Gdansk, when Poland was deprived of any functioning port it still focuses on this aspect. However, Gdynia successfully turns its industrial image into touristic attractions and is certainly one of the most rapidly developing cities in Poland, winning a number of competitions (both national and international) for the most appreciated places to live in, invest or study. Its inhabitants are local patriots and if you ask them – there’s
no place they’d rather be in ;)

We guarantee – once you
visit the Tricity you will certainly fall in love with it! What’s the secret behind that? Its diversity, open-mindedness, energy and the omnipresent idea of solidarity! That’s just a brief description – to find out more choose one of the topics.
