AEIMS CONGRESS - 2018

We hope you enjoyed The cutting edge of medical art

Antwerp, Belgium, 12-13 October

This year’s congress was hosted by Biological and Medical Art Belgium (BIOMAB) at the University of Antwerp, 12-13 October 2018.

At the congress, we had an exciting programme with the emphasis on Surgical and Dissection Skills with some great presentations and workshops.

Student scientific illustrators were especially encouraged to bring their portfolios and many presented their artwork during the portfolio discussions, as well as during the breaks in between activities.

It is a tradition for the yearly AEIMS Meeting to organize a Salon of student and professional artwork to display and to share what we all have been creating. We invited you all (students and professionals) to submit your artwork for the exhibition digitally.

Continuing AEIMS congress from the past, we featured a silent auction of the artwork that was submitted for the exhibition. And an AEIMS prize for best entry to the exhibition was be awarded to one student and one professional.

The congress was packed full of spotlight and educational sessions, social networking events and workshops focused on Surgical and Dissection Skills.

Thanks to all those who attended, and see you all at the next Congress in Latvia!
