The Young European Scientist Meeting is the biomedical student’s congress you don’t want to miss! Ever since 2006, the YES Meeting aims to provide student’s proper recognition from scientific world and hence motivates them to do research work. Over the years, this congress has been growing not only in the number of participants but also in international recognition. This three-day meeting offers you the chance to attend several lectures given by many important researchers in the biomedical field, and also to get to know other student’s research work. The social program is, also, a highlight since it takes place in the beautiful city of Oporto, where you can enjoy the last summer breeze by the river and discover the historic sights of Portuguese culture. We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s edition, which will take place in 18-21st September 2014. Our best regards, The 9th YES Meeting Organizing Committee
