ConferenceSeries
We’re listeningThank you for sending your suggestions for future Conference Series meetings in the 2017 members’ survey, they will help to inform our discussions on future topics:
Apoptosis • Autophagy • Biomarkers • Cancer Cytology • Immunotherapy • Metabolism • Prevention • Careers in Science • DNA Damage • Epidemiology • Epigenetics • Epithelial to Mesenchymal • Exosomes • Genomics • Glycobiology • Hereditary • Heterogeneity • Imaging • In Vivo Models • Interdisciplinarity • Liquid Biopsy • Metastasis • Microbiome • Microenvironment • Nanotechnology • NGS • Non-Coding RNA • Organoids • Proteomics • Rare Cancers • miRNA • Senescence • Stem cell *Topics covered in upcoming EACR Conference Series events
In addition to the biennial EACR Congress, we organise a series of excellent cancer research conferences where the latest research topics and networking opportunities for participants are our very highest priorities.
2016 was a great success for the EACR Conference Series, with three very well-received meetings.

Interactive... the conference series offers many opportunities to create new collaborations with other scientistsIntimate... the small number of participants (100-200) and extra networking activities encourage interaction Innovative + Focused... ‘hot topics’ and high quality talks by world-renowned speakers

“The meeting focused on a new era of cell biology: 3D cell culture models and applications. The topic was very timely and the list of invited speakers impressive. The meeting is kept very intimate to ease the communication between the participants. I attended this meeting for the second time. Again, I was very pleased with everything and learned a lot. This is definitely the meeting to learn the latest advances and methods in cell biology! This year organisers had improved participants’ interaction abilities as the schedule included: a networking event, a Meet the Expert session and the possibility to attend round table discussions with speakers.”
Meeting Bursary winner: Irene Ylivinkka, University of Helsinki, Finland
“As a young scientist I very much value the possibilities given by the conference to network with other researchers in the field, which is an exceptional opportunity for the exchange of experiences and establishment of collaborations. I highly recommend researchers to join the EACR community and attend the excellent EACR conferences.”

6th EACR-OECI Joint Training Course
Molecular Pathology Approach to Cancer
Amsterdam, Netherlands,
09 - 11 May 2016
“Great lectures presented by well-respected and knowledgeable speakers perfectly addressed important milestones in the field
of molecular pathology and emphasised its importance in the age of new molecular and biological therapies for cancer treatment. Thanks to important information provided during the lectures, lively discussions and friendly conversations during the breaks, I have already started to organise my work according to new cancer sub-classifications. I want to thank
the EACR once again for allowing me to use this opportunity and to live a memorable experience both professionally and
personally.”
Meeting Bursary winner: Ana Krivokuca, Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia
