Education: a key component across CCE
Education & Training pillar
The Education & Training pillar aims to educate and train the next generation of cancer researchers and clinicians in Personalised Cancer Medicine (PCM) to assure the continuation and sustainability of Cancer Core Europe.
An overarching aim with the E&T activities is also to contribute to reduce inequalities in prevention and cancer treatment between countries and regions. To achieve this, the pillar engages the consortium’s researchers and clinicians, disseminates knowledge, and provides specialised educational and training opportunities for cancer researchers outside the Cancer Core Europe, in Europe and beyond.
Our educational and training opportunities
Summer School in Translational Cancer Research – Algarve, Portugal
During one week, participants from Europe and beyond are offered cutting-edge knowledge on topics covering the entire cancer research continuum, including highlights from a selection of themes that are important to PCM. Participants and speakers are selected to represent a multidisciplinary group. The program and course format facilitate networking and intensive interactions in a relaxed environment – a concept which has proven to be successful over the years.
The CCE TRYTRAC Program -Advanced Training Series
The program focuses on young researchers in their early stage career at the different CCE sites. TRYTRAC allows the next generation of research leaders to deepen their understanding of the state-of-the-art research and technology of every partner institution by workshops set up by and at each CCE partner site where participants meet. Our aim is to build a strong network and community of partners, allowing them to share opportunities and ideas and turn them into collaborative projects between the sites.
CCE Exchange Program
This 2-weeks training program, primarily for clinical CCE professionals, allows travelers to visit and learn from other CCE partners at their institutes. During the exchange, the visitor is expected to engage with the work at the partner unit and attend seminars and meetings while actively presenting their own research during the exchange but also to report back to CCE and their home institute.
The CCE Lecture Series
Initiated during the pandemic, CCE lecturers from the seven sites host and give a one hour talk on state-of-the-art research from the centre.
Workshops – Advanced Training
In collaboration with other CCE TFs/ projects/ researchers, the E&T organizes workshops on current topics where there are identified needs or wishes for training e.g. the joint initiative with Imaging Task Force on RECIST.
