16th EPSA Autumn Assembly The 16th Autumn Assembly took place from the 29th of October until the 3rd of November. During these days, about 350 students came together in Poreč, Croatia, to CROnnect with each other.
An educational program was set up by the Reception Committee and EPSA’s educational department consisting of two mornings of symposiums on biological treatments with several high level speakers. Furthermore; workshops, trainings, a live public health campaign and a science excursion were organized for participants. In the evening, participants had the opportunity to meet each other during the social program. After the first night’s opening-ceremony on Wednesday, it was time for a ‘heroes and villains’ themed evening. On the third day we had the opportunity to explore Poreč during the sightseeing and in the evening we tested our knowledge on the cuisines of different countries during international night. We had the opportunity to experience some Croatian style during Croatian night on Friday and the congress was concluded as usual with a gala on Saturday. Concluding this, I want to congratulate the Reception Committee, Helping Team and the EPSA team for their work to make this event a successful one. The determination of the Reception Committee made it possible to bring an outstanding number of participants and sponsors to contribute to this event. I hope to see a lot of participants, and new faces, again at the Annual Congress in Lyon!
