The students of the Faculty of Medicine Osijek may participate in the work of:

Osijek Student Congress (OSCON) – an international translational medicine congress of students of biomedical sciences and young physicians. The main goals of this congress are the acquisition of new knowledge and skills essential for a future career, making new acquaintances due to development of high-quality intersectoral cooperation, overcoming the fear of publicly presenting at a scientific meeting and promoting the often-neglected scientific component of medicine. One of the reasons for initiating such a project was that a large number of doctors are leaving Croatia, and this kind of congress can serve as an incentive for students and young physicians to stay in the country and provide them with the opportunity to present their work and acquire new knowledge and skills in their own city. In this way, we foster the additional development of the academic community and science in our city and region, providing students with the opportunity to write their own independent scientific and research papers. The target group comprises all students of biomedical sciences (medicine, medical laboratory diagnostics, nursing, dental medicine, physiotherapy, radiologic technology, dental hygiene, midwifery, pharmacy, medical biochemistry, veterinary molecular biology, sanitary engineering, biology and chemistry) and young physicians. Each year, we choose a topic from a wide area, and interested students from other faculties may join as passive or active participants. The paper submitted does not have to be related to the theme of the congress, and in this way even greater involvement of other study programmes (e.g., Faculty of Food and Technology, Faculty of Science, etc.) is enabled. In order to facilitate participation to as many of our students as possible, registration fees for J.J. Strossmayer University students are lower than the regular ones.
