How we're run
Our rules are public, and every board seat is elected by the members.
Read the documentsWho can join MATER?
Any medical student in Bologna, in any year, Italian or international, and students at other Italian and European medical schools as associate members. We're not accepting new members right now while we design a better way to join. Follow us on Instagram (opens in a new tab) to hear when membership reopens.
Is membership free?
Yes. There is no membership fee and every session is free for members.
How do I get involved?
Come to our events: they're open to every student. New memberships are closed for now, and we'll announce on Instagram (opens in a new tab) when they reopen.
Do I need clinical experience?
No. Workshops start from the basics, and most sessions are designed for students in their first years.
Can international students join?
Yes. Membership is for every medical student in Bologna, Italian or international, once new memberships reopen. Meetings run in English, and our Guidance pillar covers what international students need to settle in, from enrolment to permits.
Membership is closed for now
We're designing a better way to join. Our events stay open to every student, and Instagram is where we'll say when membership reopens.
