Overview

Evolence was a one-day conference where students learned about internal medicine, surgery and – for the first time – dentistry, through lectures and workshops led by doctors from the Czech Republic and across Europe.

Organisations set up stalls to introduce their work, and students from faculties all over the country came together to make connections that last beyond the day.
