What our members say
"The EACR went the extra mile for its members during the Covid lockdown. It provides excellent learning and networking opportunities to all its members and makes one feel part of the cancer research community. The regular webinars with leaders in the field are inspirational. I truly regret that I have not joined the EACR earlier in my career."
Leonie Harmse, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
"EACR is one of the most sympathetic, personal, but at the same time innovative and competent international organizations for cancer researchers I know. It really shows, with everything it does, that each member matters to them."
"During the last year I have been really impressed by the amount of events that the EACR organized. They have made me continuously feel part of a big community and this is particularly valuable in the current difficult time."
Elisa Mariella, University of Turin, Italy
"Since I joined the EACR I have had a lot of opportunities and doors open to me that I would otherwise not have access to. I've met a lot of of people and formed collaborations I would not have been able to, solely because of the EACR."
Metobor Mowoe, University of CapeTown, South Africa
