The Academic Development Fair
took place on Tuesday the 2nd of June and Wednesday the 3rd of June from 13:15 to 14:15. This event offered a platform for various institutions and research organisations to introduce themselves to ISCOMS participants, while also allowing participants to present themselves and their skills. During the fair, participants explored opportunities for academic and professional growth, both in Groningen and within their own field of study. It was a unique opportunity to discover available master’s programmes, research institutes, and potential collaborations, as well as to help participants orient themselves towards the next step in their academic journey.

 

Your Future at the UMCG

If you wanted to know more about PhD positions and research at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), participants could visit the ‘Your Future at the UMCG’ session! Prof. dr. Han Moshage & Maria Camila Almanza, PhD from the faculty of Medical Sciences, gave a detailed presentation about the possibilities of doing research and the opportunities to gain a PhD position at the UMCG. The session was concluded with a personal story from a PhD graduate. During ISCOMS 2027, this will be a part of the Academic development fair, to make it more interactive. It will be a chance for visitors to chat with multiple PhD graduates.
