The Network of European Medical Students' Conferences is a collaboration between EMSA, ISCOMS and ESC-Berlin.

In 2006 an idea was born to strengthen the knowledge and power of the European

(bio)medical scientific student conferences. A consortium was formed of two leading

European scientific student conferences (ESC-Berlin and ISCOMS-Groningen) and the

European Medical Students’ Association (EMSA). This consortium set out a timeline

and formulated several objectives. In April 2007 all preparations were finished and the

consortium decided to officially found a network, which had the support of the executive

bodies of these three organisations.

This network is called: Network of European

Medical Students’ Conferences (NEMSC) and has the following aims:

1. To facilitate interfaculty exchange of high-potential medical and biomedical

students

2. To enhance Medical Science Student Congresses in Europe by:

• increasing the number of participants of individual congresses

• improving the quality of the congresses by means of

   o setting standards for member congresses of the NEMSC

   o establishing joint evaluating of the congresses

   o organising workshops and/or seminars for congress-organisations

3. To promote Science in Europe by informing students about research events and to establish a joint website

4. To enhance integration of medical science researchers
