During the welcoming night, participants who had already arrived in Groningen had the opportunity to walk through the city together with the ISCOMS Organising Committees and our First Year Crew. The city tour, which lasted for about one hour, ended at News Cafe in the centre of Groningen. This was also the venue for the welcoming night and our ISCOMS Pub Quiz. The city tour and welcoming night allowed participants to socialise with one another and meet the ISCOMS Organising Committee.

For many participants, Monday was the day they arrived in Groningen. The social programme for this day is included for those who have registered for the Pre-course. After the Pre-course, participants were guided yet again to News Cafe where a buffet dinner was served, and everyone dined together. After this buffet, there was opportunity to unwind and show off their dancing skills during the salsa dance workshop!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. After the full scientific programme and the World Wide ISCOMS Night, ISCOMS 2025 officially concluded. However, before saying our final goodbyes, there was one last activity for the participants: the Post-Congress Tour! On this day, we visited Amsterdam. After the bus ride, we had lunch together and took a walk around the city to visit Artis, the zoo in Amsterdam. Afterwards, we returned to Groningen for a final dinner at Napoli. At the end of this dinner, ISCOMS 2025 was officially over.
