During the welcoming night, the participants who were already present in Groningen had the opportunity to walk through the city together with the ISCOMS Organising Committee and our First Year Crew. The city tour, which lasted for about one hour, ended at a local pub in the centre of Groningen. The welcoming night and our ISCOMS pub quiz took place in this pub. The city tour and welcoming night allowed the participants to socialize with one another and meet the ISCOMS organizing committee. Every participant was welcome for the welcome night, regardless of their participation in the city tour.

Most of the participants arrived in Groningen on Monday. Monday was our pre-course after which a social activity followed. For those the participants who  registered for the pre-course, the social programme for this day was included. During the social activity on our pre-course day, the participants were guided to a location at which a dancing class took place. On arrival, a buffet was served, and everyone had dinner together. After the intensive day, there was an opportunity to blow off some steam and everyone showed their dancing skills at the dancing workshop!

The first official congress day was followed by our ‘Formal Dinner’. During this dinner, all present participants had the chance to dress up fancy while enjoying a six-course walking dinner! For this outstanding six-course dinner, it was possible to choose between meat or vegetarian dishes. Besides enjoying a delicious dinner, this event provided the perfect opportunity for socialising with other ISCOMS participants and to meet some of the professors who were also present at the formal dinner.

After our final congress day and the official closing ceremony, the World Wide ISCOMS Night took place! This evening will start off with a delicious buffet with many different dishes from around the world. Afterwards, a great party took place. 

Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. After three days of the congress and the World Wide ISCOMS Night, ISCOMS 2024 reached its conclusion. But before that there was one last activity for the participants: the Post Congress Tour! During this day, we visited another Dutch city. After a day full of activities, we went back to Groningen to finish off with a dinner at Napoli. At the end of this dinner, ISCOMS 2024 was officially over. 

At the moment the organising committee of ISCOMS 2025 is fully engaged in putting together the new Social Programme.
