Founded by the UCL Surgical Society, the International Undergraduate Surgical Conference (INUGSC) was established in 2011 as the first conference of its kind. Created to provide medical students from around the world with access to high-quality surgical education beyond the traditional school curricula, INUGSC’s emphasis remains on encouraging innovation and cross-cultural exchange, pushing practical training, and pursuing academic excellence.
Our conference has been widely recognised for its standards and impact and has received endorsements from the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS), the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd), the General Medical Council (GMC), and the British Medical Association (BMA). In 2023, its growing influence was further acknowledged when UCL Surgical Society received the Opportunities Award, following INUGSC’s recognition as the largest student-led surgical conference in the UK.
Over the years, INUGSC has continued to expand in both scale and ambition, welcoming over 500 delegates in recent years. In 2025, we welcomed in-person students from the United Kingdom, United States, Malta, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Georgia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Italy, Poland, Indonesia, and Thailand. We hope this growth reflects the consistently high calibre of keynote lectures, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, all carefully designed to be accessible and relevant to medical students across the globe.
As INUGSC celebrates its 15th anniversary, the conference continues its legacy of showcasing pioneering ideas, cutting-edge research, and forward-thinking approaches to surgical education—aiming to remain a platform for inspiration, collaboration, and progress for the next generation of surgeons worldwide. A particular focus this year will be on our workshops, which we hope delegates will find new and creative.
