The WIN Consortium, supported by Nature Publishing, is encouraging the participation of young researchers at the 2010 WIN Symposium by offering awards for best poster and oral presentations.
The second annual WIN Symposium will be held in the Palais des Congres, Paris, on 7-9 July 2010.
It is an open and interactive forum designed to promote rapid translation of personalised cancer medicine discoveries to clinical practice.
This approach aims to promote closer collaboration between academia and industry, and is supported by several major oncology organisations including ASCO, ESMO and OECI.
As part of this year's agenda, young researchers are invited to submit abstracts for poster presentations relating to personalised cancer medicine by 5 June, with prizes for the top entries supplied by media sponsor NPG, plus free attendance to the symposium for the best 15 submissions.
The three winning young researchers will also be invited to give oral presentations, giving future leaders in oncology research an opportunity to showcase their work alongside key opinion leaders in the field.
