This event will be held in the biggest institution of health practice, studies and research of Lithuania – Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LUHS), the newest university body, developed in the process of union of former Kaunas University of Medicine and Lithuanian Veterinary Academy. The Students Scientific Society (SSS) of LUHS is successfully operating already for more that 60 years, unifying more than 1000 members in their research work in more than 40 scientific sections. Students of Medical, Odontology, Pharmacy, Public Health, Nursing, Veterinary Faculties are engaged in scientific activities, lead by experienced and highly competent scientists, professors, active PhD students. The relations between students, former lecturers and scientists are successfully developed in the frame of Alumni club, which, together with Lithuanian Medical Students Association (LMSA) and SSS of LUHS are the key organizers of this significant conference. The Conference is a nice occasion for demonstration of potential of international cooperation and collaboration, the variety of presentations and achievements. This event is a unique opportunity to meet ones new colleagues or old friends, as well as to present the scientific achievements of participants and their universities in the international level. This meeting is a great chance to develop new scientific international contacts for future collaboration and reseach activities, improve scientific quality and grasp new ideas. I believe that this meeting will be a nice opportunity for multicultural international student contacts outside the frames of the Conference agenda, which could be even more important than official black-tie collaboration. I strongly believe that the Conferences will turn into tradition and wish all the participants excellent presentations, refreshment of knowledge, successfull work. Also I wish you remarkable glimpses of Kaunas together with impressions of students‟ summer.
