Mark your calendar for the second Utrecht Cancer Annual Event

Utrecht Cancer is a collaborative platform that connects cancer researchers across Utrecht Science Park, including Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht, the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, the Hubrecht Institute, and other partner organizations. By sharing expertise and technologies, we can achieve more together than any single institute can alone.

Why join?

  • Meet fellow cancer researchers from across institutes and disciplines
  • Hear two speakers and short pitches from our core partners, then continue the conversation at discussion tables
  • Unwind with a pub quiz or bingo, and a chance to win a gift

At the Annual Event, you can meet colleagues across institutes and disciplines and spark new collaborations in cancer research. The event is especially designed for early-career researchers, such as PhD candidates, postdocs, and new group leaders. Everyone with an interest in cancer research is welcome.

Program

Two inspiring speakers share their vision on cancer research. The five core partners will also share in short pitches where they see opportunities to work together. During the break, you can continue the conversation at the partners’ tables.
