Student involvement is a critical component of TERMIS. SYIS provides a platform for the “next generation” of scientists and engineers in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to interact. SYIS aims to further the professional and scientific development of its members.

The TERMIS-EU SYIS Council invites all students and young investigators* to participate in activities organized especially focused on SYIS.

*The TERMIS definition for a Student member is any individual, who is engaged as a full-time graduate or undergraduate, in a university or college program and is actively involved in research in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Young Investigators are defined as persons who are employed by an academic institution in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, who have been awarded their doctoral degree within the past 5 years and who are not holding an appointment as a faculty or academic staff in a university/research institute.
