The aim of the conference was to discuss the issues that have been aggravated or impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and recognize the work the students have made this year. It is an opportunity for them to make their voices heard and at the same time learn from each other. This conference is aimed at being replicated every year with relevant topics and involve students from different universities, creating a network of ambitious and active students that want to share their knowledge and experiences.
