Starting in 2017, a small team of Croatian medical students began organizing annual biomedical conferences that over the years attracted over 2000 guests from 27 countries and 34 nationalities from 4 continents, including 6 Nobel laureates. These conferences helped biomedical students enhance the most important practical knowledge they need for their future careers, facilitated collaborations and inspired them with world class speakers. We are so proud to have been recognized by numerous institutions, including the European Commission.

Building on this success, Plexus 2022 was an incredible experience for 250 young biomedical professionals from almost 30 countries, who had the opportunity to learn from leaders in science and medicine, including 3 Nobel laureates. The conference was held at some of the most stunning locations in the beautiful city of Split, including the Art Nouveau-styled concert hall “Hrvatski dom“, gorgeous gardens of Gallery Meštrović, and the 1700-year-old Roman palace. We can't wait for you to see what Plexus 2023 has in store!
