Starting with the first symposium in 2005 we have not only become a tradition of the Medical University of Vienna, but over the years we have also become a renowned event in the academic community of Austria.
We are happy to see that over the years the annual YSA PhD Symposium has become an event which successfully provides a high performance and interactive scientific platform for scientists, bringing together doctoral students, academic colleagues, supervisors and professors from different interdisciplinary fields. The symposium makes it possible for all PhD students to enhance their knowledge about new methods and technologies available, exchange data and information with other students and improve their presentation skills. Additionally, participants can discuss in a multidisciplinary scientific environment and get valuable suggestions and critical input from experts in different fields.
Over 2000 scientific projects have been presented at the YSA PhD Symposium in the last years, contributing to the development of each young scientist’s scientific career.
We highly encourage PhD students, Master students and young PostDocs affiliated to the Medical University of Vienna to join the YSA and become part of the scientific future of Austria and beyond.
The key objectives of the YSA comprise of:
- Improving networking between young scientists of the Medical University of Vienna and beyond.
- Organizing scientific meetings such as the PhD Symposium, workshops and lectures of international speakers with an outstanding expertise in their field.
- Establishing a link between postgraduate students and the board of the Medical University of Vienna.
