As part of our ongoing effort to maintain and strengthen connections with the alumni of the School of Medicine of the University of Crete (UoC), we are pleased to announce the launch of the UoC Alumni Research Seminar Series for 2026. This initiative aims to bring cutting-edge knowledge in basic, translational and clinical research, reflecting the scientific work and career trajectories of our alumni, while fostering stronger links between the Medical School and distinguished alumni physicians and scientists working abroad. The seminar series is open to consultants, residents, medical students in their clinical clerkships and biomedical scientists.
