The 2024 UAE conference brought together over 100 students from schools across the region for a full day of expert talks, clinical workshops, and for the first time a live student research poster showcase.
The 4th edition set a new standard. The research showcase in particular gave students something genuinely meaningful to take into their applications not just a certificate, but a project they had built and presented in a real academic setting."
