Abstract
History of student activism at the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka, as well as the scientific research activity of our students, originates from the very beginnings of the Faculty. Today, there are four active student organisations at the Faculty, which organize around fifty student projects over the year. Between them, the most important are student congresses that promote science among students and teach them about the inseparable bond between scientific research, academic life and medicine. They give students the opportunity to take first scientific steps in their home, presenting their research to a wide international audience. It is the opportunity to meet and connect future colleagues and young scientists at an international level, that creates the foundation both for their personal and scientific development. In the past nine years, our students have organized nine Congresses of Nutrition and Clinical Dietotherapy, eight Congresses of Neuroscience, three Congresses of Emergency Medicine, Congress of Biomedicine, two Congresses of Dental Medicine, two Congresses of Environmental Health, Congress of Health Protection, six Internal Symposia of Students of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Health Sciences, three symposia and three „Students for Human Rights“ Congress, and have participated in the organization of three Summer Schools of Interventional Radiology. As a result, large number of students have been involved in scientific research that has been presented at congresses across the regions and hundreds of students have passed through our congresses, either as active or passive participants, or as part of the organizing committee. Large numbers of foreign students coming to our congresses every year indicates their good quality and distinctiveness and that they became a brand both of the Faculty of Medicine and the University of Rijeka.
