The Conference
Cancer Research UK contributes towards an exclusive annual International PhD Student Cancer Conference (IPSCC) organised by students for students. This allows high calibre students (typically in their second to fourth years) from top cancer research institutes across the UK and Europe to organise and present at their own scientific conference.
Each year a different cancer research institute takes a turn at organising and hosting the conference.
This year, CRUK Manchester Institute students are hosting the 18th IPSCC in Manchester. See link to website.
Since 2007, the IPSCC has brought together PhD students from top cancer research institutes across Europe.
The conference’s focus spans from basic to translational, including clinical and epidemiological areas of cancer research, as the whole spectrum of cancer research will contribute to our better understanding of cancer and the improvement of treatments for cancer patients.
The packed three-day programme typically features high-profile keynote speakers, student talks, poster sessions, career workshops and opportunities for networking.
This joint meeting is for PhD students from the following participating institutes:
