Undoubtedly, the European Cancer Congress is the must-attend event for all young oncologists in Europe in 2015.

The Congress is the leading European platform for presenting practice-changing scientific data and a unique multidisciplinary context where different areas of oncology converge to explore innovative solutions to help cancer patients. These factors combine to create the best environment to foster the professional growth of a young oncologist.

However, the European Cancer Congress traditionally does much more than that for our promising young oncologists and ECC2015 takes this tradition even further.

The programme includes a special track dedicated to young professionals in the field of oncology. This track is designed to provide advanced knowledge building a bridge between scientific progress and the clinical setting (“Cancer Genetics for Oncologists – Issues in Clinical Practice”) as well as provide deeper understanding of broader aspects of cancer care (“How to Break Significant News”).

At the same time, the Congress programme makes a point of providing invaluable mentorship opportunities for young oncology professionals. The Congress gathers in one place the most briliant scientists and practitioners who have a strong commitment to the sharing of their experience and wisdom with the new generation of specialists. At ECC2015, young oncologists will be able to participate in special mentorship sessions designed to ensure this handover of learning acquired through a wealth of experience at the highest level of oncology practice.

Learning won’t stop there – the programme will offer sessions focused on key topics that affect every young oncologist in Europe. Experts will offer guidance on issues such as career opportunities in Europe and making the right choices among them, improving cancer training and avoiding burnout by ensuring a good work/life balance.

The Congress offers numerous networking opportunities which will help young specialists build invaluable and enduring working relationships to support their professional future.

We encourage young oncologists to register early for ECC2015 and make the most of this extraordinary career-making event!
