"Addressing the lack of international meetings in the course of our medical training, we devised the YES Meeting with three main goals in mind: biomedical student education, presentation of biomedical research projects developed by students, and creation of a student network around the globe."

Filipe La Fuente – Founder of the YES Meeting



The YES (Young European Scientist) Meeting is an international conference organized by students from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto, in Portugal. Its major goal is to provide a global platform of scientific and cultural exchange to biomedical students all over the world. Our target audience consists of undergraduate biomedical students and recently graduate students who wish to present their research work. Furthermore, any student interested in learning about cutting-edge innovations may attend the conference and enjoy our Scientific and Workshops Programme and Clinical Competition, as well as have the opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Porto or enjoy our Gala Dinner, an event included in our Social Programme.

Message from the Organizing Committee


The members of the Organizing Committee will focus on gathering biomedical students from all around the world and achieving the following main goals:

1. The Biomedical projects developed by students will have the main stage at YES Meeting. Participants will have the opportunity to present their own research work to a renowned Jury and the best presentations will be awarded prizes by our Scientific Committee. These presentations will take place during Poster Sessions, Oral Communications and the Plenary Session.

2. World-class scientists will gather at our congress to present their major discoveries in various fields, allowing biomedical students to expand their knowledge horizons.

3. All participants will be able to experience science in a unique way through our Speed Meeting activity, in which they can ask questions and discuss scientific themes with the Speakers of our congress.

4. Biomedical students will be given the opportunity to perfect their medical skills with practical tips from the very best professionals in Portugal, within our vast Workshop Programme.

5. Medical reasoning of participants will be challenged at the Clinical Competition by answering multiple choice questions about curious clinical cases. There will be a prize awarded to the winner.

6. The construction of a worldwide student network with peers who share the same interest for research and biomedical science is just as important.

We invite you all to take part in the 19th YES Meeting, whether as a Presenting or Non-Presenting Student! Join us in September 2024 for an enlightening and unforgettable experience!
