Connecting Expertise Event on Brain Cancer
Scope
In the past years, we have witnessed a growth in research lines on brain cancer in Ghent, and think the time is right to bring together everyone in the field to further stimulate collaboration & impactful research. Therefore, this 'Connecting Expertise' event (closed networking event for CRIG (UGent, UZ Gent, VIB-UGent) researchers) is focused on all types of expertise in Ghent on brain cancer. Via short pitches and ample networking opportunities, we hope to introduce you to the latest technologies and expertise at our institutions and foster new collaborations.
