Organiser: Building Bridges in Medical Sciences

Building Bridges in Medical Sciences (BBMS) are proud to announce that the 15th installment of BBMS’ Annual Conference will be taking place on Saturday 18th March at Robinson College, and will be titled “Embrace the Future: What's Achievable in the Next 10 Years?”. Please join us for a day of compelling and dynamic discussions, talks and workshops, including plenty of networking opportunities with other like-minded individuals. 

The goal for the conference is to build bridges within, and more importantly beyond academia. We aim to achieve this by bringing distinguished guests from academia, industry, business enterprise, policymaking to facilitate both inter – and transdisciplinary discussions.

Free lunch and catering will also be provided on the day with the opportunity to sit down and network and learn about careers with representatives from companies in the fields of biotech, pharma, consulting and more. 

Further details about the conference program including our speakers will be coming out very shortly in the weeks to come. Please don’t miss out by signing up to attend the conference for free here!
