COLLOQUIUM

"Creativity meets Innovation"
  1. Events
  2. COLLOQUIUM

When the world seems dystopian
We bring you an event away from the podium.
Problems might be umpteen, solutions only some.
Some child’s play, others herculean,
Think of us as a brain gymnasium.
Gather every capable friend,
Let’s see how much your minds bend.
Put your creative skills to test,
You might win, If you’re the best!
Read further and you’ll know the rest.
OSMECON 2021’s debut event, Colloquium provides an arena for medical students like you to discover and channel your flair for creativity and come up with unheralded solutions to challenging issues. Prepare yourself for three mindboggling and exciting rounds. Come onboard to sail through the waters of three seas (C’s) of the colloquium. The first sea called the COMPENDIUM, the second, CREATIVE DIGEST and the final sea called the COLLOQUY. Gear up to fire your neurons and proffer exceptional solutions to the contemporary issues.
In the event of stranding, we hope you’d know how to build a raft!
