Three (3) exciting and interactive Career Discovery Sessions take place on Tuesday and Wednesday during the EACR 2025 Congress. These sessions provide a unique opportunity for students and early-career EACR members to participate in an intimate and interactive roundtable discussion on specific topics moderated by distinguished cancer researchers from across various sectors, including academia, government, publishing and industry. Each table will center its discussion around a specific topic, and young researchers must pre-register for these sessions and select the topic of preference.
These sessions have limited availability and require registration in advance. Only those with a confirmation will be granted access to their chosen table.
