Posted on behalf of the ESC team:
| The "European Students' Conference (ESC)" is one of the largest biomedical conferences worldwide and has been one of the main events at Charité Berlin for many years. Every year the ESC takes place at Charité, the Medical School of Freie Universitaet and Humboldt Universitaet in Berlin, Germany. This year's conference will be from 29th September - 3rd October 2008. The ESC is a platform for the promotion of the scientific offspring in the fields of biomedical research. |
Young scientists from over 40 countries, mainly from Eastern and Western Europe, are invited to present the findings of their research projects to an international audience and to discuss their results with an interdisciplinary approach.
Topic: Since this year's motto is
"Head forward: The Head – Physical Aspects and Psyche of the Human Being" neuroscience will be one of the main topics. Internationally distinguished neuroscientists will be invited to hold lectures in the fields of behavioural, cognitive, computational and medical neuroscience.
Scientific Contest: A jury of renowned senior scientists selects 350 out of approximately 1000 applicants to give an oral or a poster presentation of their scientific research. Each session features, on average, eight presenting participants who compete with one another in front of the student audience and a jury of senior scientists of the Charité and guests from abroad. The session winners will then compete with one another. We provide a prize purse of €10,000 which will be divided between all session winners. Furthermore, all accepted applicants have the opportunity to apply for a completely financed research award at the Charité Berlin. Application is done online on the
ESC website.
Submission deadline for abstracts is the 15th of June.Vision: We aim to contribute to a good education of promising young scientists and future doctors. Hereby we wish to strengthen the international network. Furthermore we hope that the participants take the opportunity to broaden their minds.
Mission: To put our vision into practice we offer discussions about topics of biomedical research as well as social and ethical discourses.
The 5-days program consists of interactive sessions, workshops and lectures. These events will be chaired by distinguished professors, Nobel Price Winners, Ambassadors and nonprofit organizations.
In addition we plan cultural events and activities like Berlin Sightseeing Tour, a trip to Potsdam, a Welcome Dinner and a great Farewell Party to encourage the participants to get in contact for an intercultural and personal exchange of views and personally explore the history and culture of Berlin.

ESC website for detailed information.
