Imperial College Friends of MSF is the official student support organisation for MSF at Imperial College London, one of the world’s top 5 universities for technology, medical research and engineering. It is student-led society that focuses on raising awareness and funds for MSF through a variety of events and conferences.

MSF Now: Psyche was the third edition of the event. We aimed to make it even bigger and more interactive than in previous years. We chose to focus on the refugee crisis, mental health, corporate responsibility as well as provide creative and original workshops for our participants. We hope to become a platform for students, researchers, and professionals to engage in a stimulating discussion about the future direction of research in the MSF, ethics of public policy and current humanitarian crisis. We invited the very minds, companies, and organisations that could represent their views on the discussion panels or in their keynote speeches.

Incredibly relevant and important content. Learned a great deal about what MSF does, found the talk on innovation particularly interesting.

Everything seems well organised, and the welcoming and facilities were very satisfying.

CLKing’s College London

The day was very well organised and the speakers were all very qualified.

QSImperial College School of Medicine

It was organised well but there was too much focus on experiences of individual doctors. I wanted to know more about how MSF deals with broader issues such as immigration, supply chain management, recruitment, etc.
