Introduction

A highly interactive, online conference for early-career researchers wishing to develop their career in cancer research.

This conference will cover all the topics that early-career researchers tell us they need, with plenty of chances to turn on your camera and mic and speak directly with the experts. Speakers will share personal experiences and practical advice on a broad range of topics.

Target audience

Scientists in the early phase of their career who want to develop a career in cancer research. The programme is tailored for scientists in the process of starting their independent path, as well as for researchers engaging with the clinical and industrial applications of their work.

Hear what attendees of last year's Early Career Researchers' Conference had to say:

"It was an extremely well organised conference that helped young researchers develop their soft skills. Even though it was a virtual conference, it allowed the participants to meet students and PIs that have or have been experiencing the same problems in the research field. it was an amazing experience."

"The speakers organised sessions that covered all crucial aspects for early career cancer scientists. The talks were very dynamic and allowed close proximity between attendees and speakers. It was a great and productive conference."

"This is not my first time attending an EACR virtual event and I can honestly say that the organisation is always top notch and the programs are always interesting."
