About ICOCIMS

The International student Congress of Clinical Innovation and Medical Sciences aims to set itself as the premier (bio)medical student congress in Italy and, in the following years, among the most prominent ones in Europe.

Our vision is to create a global community of students and young professionals passionate about clinical innovation and medical sciences. Through ICOCIMS, we aspire to inspire and support emerging talents in their pursuit of excellence, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to the improvement of healthcare worldwide. We envision ICOCIMS as a catalyst for transformative ideas, interdisciplinary collaborations, and evidence-based practice in clinical medicine.

Schedule

ICOCIMS 2023 will have a diverse program, featuring oral presentations, poster presentations, lectures, workshops, and social activities. Stay informed about the event details by regularly checking our website and following us on social media for updates!
