The European Dental Students’ Association is a student organisation founded in 1988. It currently represents more than 70,000 dental students across Europe from 35 different countries. EDSA is opened to all associations in the European region that are motivated to make a difference. The aims of this independent organisation is to inform students about European politics regarding dental career, to defend the interests of dental studens and to build a strong unity whose voice would be louder. However, it connects universities together and develops exchange opportunities as well as international collaborations.
In order to maintain a fruitful relationship between national associations from Europe and also strengthen it, these students have to meet and act as a driving force to make every plan a reality. As that being said, EDSA community meets usually twice a year in the form of EDSA Meetings, conferences such the one you’re discovering right now.
Regarding the Spring of 2024, Bucharest will be the hosting city of the meeting. The LOC is looking forward to meeting you all in Bucharest on 14th -20th of April.
Do not hesitate to register for the official 73rd EDSA Meeting. Help us write another chapter to this beautiful story and feel #aglimpseoftradition together with us.
Bucharest Dental Students Association (BDSA) is an independent, non-political and non-governmental, local students association that represents the dental students from Bucharest. BDSA is a co-founder of FSMDR, the National Federation of Dental Students, part of the National Union of Students from Romania (USR), but also an EDSA and IADS member.
BDSA offers a complex experience and guides every student’s steps throughout the 6 years of university. “Baby Steps” is a introducing project for the freshers to the new student life, helping them make a memorable first impression out of it. Further projects offer the access to scientific activities, lectures and workshops: the DENT-X Congress is held every year, gathering great names of the dentistry field and represent a chance for the students to attend hands-on activities and gain practical experience.
From time to time, it is the same team that gets wild and organises parties to celebrate different occasions. As a romanian dental student, you have the chance to spend a week in another city and discover their dental faculty through Interdentis, an exchanging programme that is organised twice a year with other universities from around the country. BDSA is also involved in helping the poor by coordinating donation campaigns for Christmas or Easter and in teaching children basic hygienic rules as part of the project called Prophylaxy in Schools.
