What is TERMIS-SYIS

TERMIS-SYIS is the Students and Young Investigators Section of TERMIS. SYIS membership includes all students (undergraduate or graduate) and young investigators who have received their doctoral degree within the past 3 years.

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 SYIS council plans events for SYIS membership at the annual conference, focused on social events, professional development events, and various awards, all discussed below. In recent years, SYIS membership benefits have expanded beyond the conference, providing additional value to society membership.
