IVA in English

Founded in 1998, In Vitro Aboensis IVA ry, shortly IVA, is an organization representing students from the bachelor programme of biomedicine, and three international master programmes: Drug Discovery and Development (DDD), Biomedical Imaging (BiMa) and Human Neuroscience at the University of Turku.

In IVA ry, our goal is to support the students in matters related to their studies, offer them an active platform for networking and of course organize various student activities, such as game nights, parties and sports events. The board of IVA ry is the active linker between the biomedical students, the programmes teaching/ administrative staff, as well as TYY (the Student Union of the University of Turku).
