Flims Workshop Fellowships


alt The Flims Workshop on Methods in Clinical Cancer Research is jointly organised by the European CanCer Organisation (ECCO), the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO). In 2012 it will be held from 23 to 29 June.

Application deadline: 13th February 2012.

ESSO supports the participation of young surgeons to the workshop by granting every year up to 5 fellowships to the selected surgeon fellows.

This one-week intensive residential training offers a unique opportunity for young oncology surgeons to learn the essentials of clinical trials and be in direct contact with experts in this specific area. During the Workshop each participant develops a concept sheet for a clinical trial protocol and, through extensive mentoring, completes the writing of the protocol before the end of the Workshop.

The Faculty includes 29 experts from Europe and the United States who are recognised for their leadership in clinical research and clinical trial design. Two surgeons, Professor Peter Naredi (SE), President of ESSO, and Professor Peter Hohenberger (DE) are members of the faculty.

The workshop scientific programme consists of three types of activities to serve a variety of didactic needs:

  • Protocol development sessions during which each participant develops a concept sheet for a clinical trial protocol, and completes its writing before the end of the workshop

  • Parallel discussion group sessions on special topics.

  • Lectures on specific topics presented by experts in the field.

These talks give participants a necessary overview of the design and conduct of high-quality clinical trials.
