The symposium is organized by first year SUMMA students. The aim of this SUMMA symposium is to establish a link between basic research and clinical practice. This year’s topic is Technological advances in healthcare: Exploring the limits. How far can we go and how far should we go?
Many topics will be discussed in this symposium, ranging from fundamental bio-technological research to clinical applications of technologies and its ethical consequences.
The symposium is primarily targeted towards graduate medical students, researchers and medical specialists who aim to bridge the gap between fundamental research and clinical practice. However, everyone with interest in the field of medicine and medical-technological sciences, is more than welcome to join!
We hope to see you there at the 21st of June!
This year’s topic is Technological advances in healthcare: Exploring the limits.
