The next edition of the 4EU+ Against Cancer Summer School will take place in July. The University of Warsaw students have the opportunity to visit the Sorbonne University to explore key areas of cancer research. Application period ends on 15th June.

4EU+ Against Cancer Summer School is part of the 4EU+ Alliance Flagship 1: Health and Demographic Change in the Urban Environment. The program addresses key challenges in society related to health and well-being, demographic change, and urban environment. The summer school is implemented thanks to grants awarded for educational projects in the field of oncology. It launches the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling of the University of Warsaw, Assistance Publique–Hôpitaux de Paris at the Sorbonne University and the Czech Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Prague.

Participants of the school will have the opportunity to take part in multidisciplinary oncology research: from basic, translational and clinical to bioinformatics, computational biology, drug development and research funding opportunities.

The research topics cover:

• basic, translational and clinical oncology;
• fundamentals of cancer treatment;
• bioinformatics and computational biology;
• drug development.

Lectures and classes will be led by experts from universities belonging to the 4EU+ Alliance: University of Warsaw, Charles University, Sorbonne University, University of Milan, University of Copenhagen, University of Heidelberg, and University of Geneva.
