A group of residents identified the need to improve connectivity and communication among Young Scientists in Laboratory Medicine. In a constant evolving profession, scientists are permanently searching for learning opportunities. Exchange programmes become essential and scientists are using more and more this kind of projects.

Lab Surfing grew up motivated by this idea with three main objectives: Connect YS, Improve Communication and make Exchange Programmes easier.

The Lab-Surfing community is made up of students, residents, fellows and researchers in laboratory medicine and clinical biochemistry.

All with a common interest: to improving communication between colleagues around the world.

How it works?

Lab Surfing is a community with a main goal: Connect young laboratory professionals such as residents, fellows, researchers and students from all around the globe.

You can use Lab Surfing to find colleagues in different cities, to host exchange fellows, to search for Lab/City information & opportunities or chat with other scientists.

When you are traveling, it is always helpful to know someone you can trust on to find accommodation, or valuable city and hospital information. Any service is useful and imagination is the only limit.

How do we connect?

Using the search engine you’ll find colleagues who are registered in the destination of interest. You can make individual or group queries.

Lab-Surfing doesn’t offer scholarships, it only facilitates contact with local, national and international colleagues to help you plan and accomplish exchange programs.
