13th ECCO-AACR-EORT-ESMO WORKSHOP on Methods in Clinical Cancer Research, 18-24 June 2011, Flims, Switzerland
|
 Aimed at European junior clinical oncologists in any clinical research area to learn the essentials of clinical trial design, this one-week intensive workshop is supported by the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO) with five fellowships to young surgical oncologists.
Applicants are expected to submit a proposal for a clinical trial which, if successful, they bring to the Workshop for development from the concept stage to a full protocol during the five days of the meeting. The faculty work as hard as the students revising and re-reading draft protocols throughout the week. The aim is that, upon his/her return home, the applicant actually submits the protocol to the involved ethics board and performs the designed study.
Participation is per competitive application. Application closes on 14th February.
