Conference detail

Conference Officer: Hannah Barrs <hannah.barrs@eacr.org>

This highly interactive online meeting for early-career researchers focuses on career development. It will cover all the topics that our ECR members tell us they need – such as leadership skills, personal growth, translating research, and bridging the gap between academia and industry – and will offer plenty of opportunities for delegates to speak directly with the experts.

The target audience for this conference is: 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.
