LIMSC offers young researchers the opportunity to present their work to an international audience, exchange ideas with peers and professionals, and compete for oral presentation, digital poster presentation, and theme-based awards. The conference welcomes submissions from a broad range of fields within medicine, biomedicacal sciences, pharmacy, medical technology, public health, and related disciplines.
Abstract submission opens on 1 September 2026 and closes on 15 November 2026 at 23:59 CET. Acceptance notifications will be sent on 5 January 2027.
All abstracts must be submitted through the official online abstract submission platform.
Accepted abstracts will either be assigned as an oral or poster presentation. The LIMSC Scientific Committee will determine the final presentation format based on reviewer scores, scientific qualitiy, relevance to the conference programme, theme distribution, and available presentation slots.
Oral presentations will take place during thematic scientific sessions at LIMSC 2027. Presenting authors selected for an oral presentation will give an eight-minute presentation, followed by two minutes of questions and discussion.
Poster presentations at LIMSC 2027 will be presented digitally on e-poster screens. During the assigned poster session, presenting authors will give a four-minute poster presentation, followed by one minute of questions and discussion. Poster presenters are expected to be present at their e-poster screen during their assigned session to discuss their work with attendees, reviewers, and members of the Scientific Committee.
International participants who require a visa may request an invitation letter after abstract acceptance and completion of conference registration. More information will be available when registering after receiving an acceptance or on our website under " Practical information".
Accepted abstracts will be published in the LIMSC 2027 Book of Abstracts, which may be made available both online and in print.
Attending participants
Non-presenting or attending participants are still more than welcome to enjoy our conference. As a non-presenting participant it is still possible to join every activity LIMSC has to offer. It is possbile to buy separate tickets for both our scientific and social programme, but we also offer full-ride tickets for our entire programme.
The scientific programme forms the core of the conference and spans three full days: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, offering a wide range of inspirational opportunities. It brings together student research, expert perspectives, and interactive sessions, creating space for academic exchange and interdisciplinary discussion. The programme also includes keynote lectures by invited speakers, a symposium focused on medicine in resource-limited environments, and a series of workshops that address both clinical and research-related skills.
The social programme is a way to connect with other attendees of LIMSC 2027. The programme lasts four days and it will not only let you get to know your fellow participants but it will also introduce you to the beautiful city of Leiden. The social programme consists of a Bio Science Park tour, a black tie dinner, the closing party, and so much more.
We hope to welcome you in our beautiful city at LIMSC 2027!
