ISCAA means the International Symposium of the Clinical and Applied Anatomy. The idea came from two Serbian clinical anatomists – Mirela Erić and Dragan Krivokuća – who held the first symposium in Novi Sad (Serbia) in 2009. The main purpose was to bring together scientists involved in the practical application of the anatomical research from around the globe to discuss and advance our knowledge. Based on the success of this symposium, others followed annually spreading the idea of ISCAA. The symposium serves as a platform for presentation and discussion of the basic and applied research in systemic, topographic, surface, variant, applied and clinical anatomy as well as in the histology, embryology and related sciences (both human and animal models) having a relationship with the clinical medicine (either theoretical or practical). Each year it hosts participants not only from the area in which the symposia are held (from Middle Europe to Near East) but also from other continents. Nevertheless, the “family” atmosphere based on the active participation of mainly younger investigators (including both the undergraduate and postgraduate students) is the mighty impetus of this platform.
You are cordially invited to join us!
