The ASPIC (Portuguese Association for Cancer Research – Associação Portuguesa de Investigação em Cancro; www.aspic.pt) and the ASEICA (Spanish Association for Cancer Research – Asociación Española de Investigación sobre el Cáncer; www.aseica.es) are both members of the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) and, due to common research interests and geographical proximity, decided to establish a strong network of interactions that include, among other activities, the organization of common international scientific meetings and workshops.
Our main purpose is to disseminate and promote the work developed in both countries and create communication channels and collaboration opportunities among cancer researchers in Portugal and Spain. In addition, we place emphasis on fostering essential connections among basic, clinical and translational cancer researchers.
As a first step towards that direction, ASEICA and ASPIC already co-organized an Immuno-Oncology meeting in 2019, that occurred in Salamanca, that attracted leading researchers working on this topic in Spain, Portugal and other European countries. The organization of this second ASPIC-ASEICA meeting is an additional step towards the consolidation of this connection between the two associations. In this new activity, we expect to attract the participation of scientists working on Precision Medicine in Cancer. The meeting will have 14 invited speakers plus eight talks selected from abstracts sent by attendees.
We invite you then to join us for the II ASPIC-ASEICA International (Virtual) Meeting. We are sure that you will enjoy it!
