Welcome to ISCMGEH – European edition
We are pleased to announce the 3rd International Student Conference on Medical Geology and Environmental Health – European edition (ISCMGEH-Europe). A virtual event specifically designed to encourage undergraduate and postgraduate students to share their research in the fields of Medical Geology and Environmental Health. The first edition (2021) brought together a consortium of Senior Academics and Researchers in Medical Geology, Environmental Geochemistry and Health, creating an international virtual platform for students to showcase their research findings. The 2022 edition was devoted to the African Continent.
The 2024 ISCMGEH-Europe edition aims to repeat the success of the previous virtual events, by bridging students with experts in their fields of research, encouraging a steady growth and sharing of knowledge, experiences, and scientific advances. The advantages of this virtual conference are the low funding necessary for its organization, and removing the financial burden from students as they do not need to travel or pay any registration fees to participate in an international scientific event. This series of virtual conferences is designed to provide students with several benefits including:
• Providing students with a convenient opportunity to showcase their projects and research.
• Offering a comfortable venue to practice writing and speaking English; essential skills for professional development.
• Allowing students, faculty, and others to learn of complimentary research being conducted within their region and to foster future collaboration.
• Receiving constructive feedback on their research projects from knowledgeable attendees, and senior experts.
• Fostering networking with other students and with established researchers in the region.
• Providing tangible encouragement and awards for outstanding student research projects.
• Posting their abstracts on several accessible, respected organisational platforms for web visibility.
• Best presentations will be awarded a free one-year membership in cooperating organizations and a special gift kindly provided by Springer.
The cooperating organisations will benefit by stimulating interest and membership in their organisation, and increasing awareness of regional medical geology/environmental health issues. In short, the International Student Conferences on Medical Geology and Environmental Health presents a win-win opportunity for all participants.
Registration for the 3rd International Students Conference on Medical Geology and Environmental Health-Europe is now open!
Virtual oral communications are the central element of this conference. Thus, the free registration of the first or presenting author is mandatory for abstract submission. Abstracts of authors who are not registered will not be accepted.
For each abstract submitted, the authors (ordered) and their institution(s) should be indicated. Please, use the template below for the preparation of the abstract.
