ISC - International Student Congress

International Student Congress | Medical University of Graz, Austria | ISC 2023: June 8th - 10th❗️ So save the date and join us!

We are proud to announce that from the 16th to the 18th of June 2022 the 8th international student congress (ISC) in Graz, Austria is going to take place. We take on the challenge of bring together researchers and students from many disciplines of biological sciences to talk about their most recent findings, share experiences and make new connections. The core components of the Medical University

of Graz are high standard training and education, research at an international level and continuous improvement of top quality medicine. A group of medical students therefore had the idea to organize a three day long congress for students and young scientists. Seize the chance to present and discuss your first research study on a poster, plenary or oral presentation. There is the possibillity to take an active part in different workshops and attend keynote lectures. Moreover, you can start networking with colleagues from all over the World and enjoy the evenings with different social programs.

✨ It’s time for our second installment of Wellness Wednesdays ✨

As most of us are juggling exams, assignments, and busy schedules, today we want to share some insights about Psychological Detachment – or the art of truly switching off from work and study during your free time. 🧠💤 Research shows that taking real mental breaks helps reduce stress, improves well-being, and even boosts focus and productivity for the next day.

Detaching from work or study isn’t always easy, especially when deadlines and notifications keep piling up. But setting boundaries, engaging in enjoyable activities, and allowing yourself mindful breaks can help you recover more effectively and protect your mental health. 💪

Have you tried intentionally disconnecting from your work or study? What helps you recharge? ❤️ Let us know in the comments!

What should we explore next for Wellness Wednesday?

✨We welcome Wellness Wednesdays✨

This series is dedicated to mental health and wellness, by highlighting different challenges and researching possible solutions. 🔍

As most of us are currently preoccupied with exam preparation, we thought that today we should share some basics about Burnout. 📚 Especially health science students have been found to exhibit more psychological symptoms in comparison to non-health science students. 😵‍💫 We do hope you’re taking care of yourself amidst this stressful time! 💪

Have you experienced burnout before? What helped you overcome it? ❤️‍🩹 Kindly let us know!

Art meets Science for a good cause! 🎨🩺

We are incredibly proud to share that our Art Exhibition, held during the ISC in May, raised over 2500 € for the Austrian Cancer Aid Styria (Österreichische Krebshilfe Steiermark )! 🎗️

This donation was made possible by the sale of beautiful artworks submitted by congress participants, medical students, and staff from both Med Uni Graz and the hospital.

To every single artist who donated their work and everyone who purchased a piece: Thank you! Your creativity and generosity have made a real difference. 🙏
We would also like to express a special thanks to Priv.-Doz. Dr. Nassim Ghaffari for her dedicated organization of this exhibition. 👏
