What is SURGICON?

SURGICON – International Surgical Congress for Students represents a national scientific event, founded in 2019, meant to offer wide access to the surgical sciences to medical students and young doctors all around the world. It is the first 100% surgically oriented event of its kind. Its founders, the Romanian Student Society of Surgery (RSSS) are a group of medical students who share a common goal – raising the standards in the medical education area.

We are now at our 8th edition, with the past editions having been described as a huge success within the medical students community.

What have we managed so far?

Over the years, SURGICON has evolved into a dynamic and impactful event, continuously adapting and growing. It began with 450 participants in 2019, followed by a remarkable 2031 participants in the fully online 2020 edition. The hybrid formats in 2021 and 2022 brought together 626 and 593 participants, combining accessibility with personal interaction.

In 2023, we welcomed 650 participants, and in 2024, SURGICON reached a new milestone with 700 participants, reaffirming our commitment to connecting and inspiring the next generation of surgeons.

Why do we need your support?

In order to offer access to as many participants as possible from all over the world, we decided to set highly convenient prices for our participation packs, so that the price does not represent a drawback and they are all accessible.

However, delivering a high-standard congress involves significant costs - logistics, equipment, venues, surgical materials and more.

This is where your contribution can truly shape the future of surgical education. By partnering with us, you don’t just help us run an event—you help us keep the doors of opportunity open for future surgeons who dream big and work hard.

What does your help mean to us?

Your support helps us bring SURGICON to life—an international congress that blends:

• Scientific excellence, through keynote lectures, panel discussions, and a growing research competition
• Hands-on surgical workshops, our signature and most anticipated activities
• Networking & social events, designed to connect future doctors from around the world

This year, we’re going all in:  high-quality exposure to surgery - more interactive, and more impactful than ever! With your help, we will continue to shape a congress that educates, inspires, and connects.

What do you gain as a partner?

Becoming a SURGICON partner means more than just supporting a congress - it means investing in the next generation of surgeons. 

For us, reciprocity is the key!
