Every year, young professionals from all over the globe - from the museums in Europe to the universities of North America and the theatres of the Mediterranean - participate in our courses. The AMSU aims to stimulate international discourse between future decision makers, working in very different contexts, but facing common challenges. Not just examining the tried and tested formulas of the past, but looking forward.
Medicine - Amsterdam International Medical Summer School (AIMSS).

The Summer School offers courses where you will be also involved in ongoing laboratory research. All in an international setting where students from several research areas come together to study and do research.
Participating in the AIMSS opens the opportunity for you to get acquainted with the Dutch education system and top level research of the Academic Medical Center of the University of Amsterdam (AMC-UvA).
