The Leiden International (Bio)Medical Student Conference (LIMSC) is the largest biannual student conference in the world. LIMSC offers the opportunity for medical, biomedical and life sciences students worldwide to present their research, to participate in various state-of-the-art workshops, to be enlightened by prominent guest speakers and to engage in networking with fellow international students & researchers. Furthermore, anyone just interested in learning about cutting-edge research at the frontiers of science can attend the whole scientific and social programme without having to present their own research. LIMSC takes pride in having been able to provide a high quality student conference since 1999 and we strive to improve LIMSC with every passing edition. With LIMSC we aim to support building up the international research community to battle the scientific and health challenges in the world together. LIMSC gives students the opportunity to set foot in the research world by allowing students to practice the presentation of their work to fellow scientists and to get feedback and ideas for their work and to become part of the international research community.
