Run by a team of mostly medical students, ESC is one of the largest student-run biomedical scientific conferences worldwide. It takes place at the Charité Medical School in Berlin, Germany. From the 23rd to the 26th September 2015 the conference will be held for the 26th time and its theme is: "Science or Fiction? – Imagine the future of medicine".

History

ESC has become one of the main scientific events at the Charité Medical School. Founded in 1989, at the time of major political changes at the then most prestigious medical school of the German Democratic Republic, it is today one of the largest and well-known conferences of its kind. From the onset, the idea behind the ESC was to foster a better relationship between East and West. German reunification in October 1990 created the opportunity to transfer knowledge and to create a closer relationship between medical faculties in East and West. The role of the ESC now is the support of young scientists and the advance of biomedical science on a more international scale.
