Hosted by the Francis Crick Institute with the CRUK City of London Centre. Full details to follow.
The Conference
Since 2007, the IPSCC has brought PhD students together from leading cancer research institutes across Europe.
Its scope runs the full spectrum of cancer research — from basic and translational science through to clinical and epidemiological work — on the principle that every part of that spectrum helps us understand the disease and improve treatment for patients.
The conference is organised by students, for students: every talk, poster and workshop comes from a researcher still doing their PhD. It is a joint meeting of the participating institutes:
The Three Days
The full schedule, keynote line-up, workshops and social programme will be published here. For now, here is the shape of an IPSCC.
Short platform presentations selected from submitted abstracts.
A small number of invited senior speakers, chosen by the student committee.
Hands-on skills sessions run for and by PhD researchers.
IPSCC is also about networking — a full social programme across London.
The Venue
The Crick is one of Europe's largest biomedical research institutes under a single roof — around 1,500 scientists working from fundamental discovery through to the clinic, in a purpose-built home beside King's Cross and St Pancras.
For 2027 the conference is hosted with the CRUK City of London Centre, a partnership between the Crick, UCL, Queen Mary University of London, King's College London and Barts Health NHS Trust focused on hard-to-treat cancers.
Further details incoming
Abstract submission, registration, the full programme and travel information will be announced here in the months ahead.
