General Information

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 one of Austria´s renowned academic events.

We are happy to see that we succeeded in maintaining the trend of increasing abstract submissions from our very own young, ambitious students as well as those coming from other countries to participate in this event. Over the years the symposium has been successful to provide a high performance and interactive scientific platform for scientists, bringing together doctoral students, academic colleagues, supervisors and professors from different interdisciplinary fields. The YSA 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, improve presentation skills, discuss in a multidisciplinary scientific environment and especially get valuable suggestions and inputs 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. Hence we highly encourage young scientists from the Medical University of Vienna and also from other institutes and countries to join the YSA and thus become an important part of this society’s future!
