Networking opportunities

At the EACR, we know that conferences are about more than just hearing the latest research. Our events are well known for providing excellent opportunities for networking, interaction and discussion. Here are some of the features you can look forward to at the EACR virtual conference Next Generation Cancer Therapies.

Virtual Poster Discussion Session

Tuesday 24 September 2024 17:00-18:00 CEST

There is a dedicated 60-minute Poster Discussion Session in the programme. This session will be delivered through the Zoom Meeting platform. Full details will follow in due course.

An online abstract book will be available to logged-in participants for you to browse and click in to view each virtual poster at any time during the conference.

Feedback from our previous Virtual Poster Discussion Sessions:

"The poster sessions were extremely well-organised and interactive. This type of session provides a very inspiring platform to interact with other people working in the field more openly and facilitates great scientific exchange."

“I felt fully involved in the conference most especially during the breakout session where I was able to present my work and also get to discuss it with other great minds."

 "The virtual social and networking experiences provided me with valuable connections and insights that I wouldn’t have been able to gain otherwise."
