11TH STUDENT CONFERENCE ON HEALTH SCIENCES WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION,
on 24 MAY 2019
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 11th Student Conference on Health Sciences with international participation, which will be held under the title: »Health Sciences Students’ Research Contributes to Health and Development of Modern Society«.
Students contribute to mutual cooperation and strengthening of professional identity for today and for the future. By participating in research, they contribute to the development of knowledge for the health of individuals, families and society. Students’ ability to transfer and apply theoretical knowledge to practice and solve professional problems in a way that is evidence-based and person-centred is fundamental for autonomous professional work at all levels of health care.
The Student Conference is an opportunity to promote the development, dissemination and use of knowledge in the field of nursing and health sciences. We invite students to present works that were created in the form of project, research, seminar or final work during the course of studies under the mentorship and co-mentorship of higher education teachers.
Each faculty/college can participate in the student conference with ten active contributions. Since we have excellent cooperation with renowned domestic and foreign research, education and clinical institutions and we want students to gain valuable international experience, we have also invited foreign students to participate in the student conference.
On the web site www.fzv.um.si under the banner of the 11th Student Conference on Health Sciences, we will keep you up to date on the events and timetable of the student conference. Also, the website will publish design and technical instructions for the authors and co-authors of the contributions, which will be published in the e-proceedings. The authors/co-authors will be able to present their contributions in the student conference with a PowerPoint presentation, as well as with this year's novelty – a poster presentation.
We kindly ask each faculty/college to appoint one higher education teacher/co-worker who will assume the role of coordinator and promoter of the student conference at his/her institution. Please, send us the contact details of the named person by 15 December 2018 at e-mail address: ines.mlakar@um.si.
