Everything around a malignant tumour and its metastases, from its so-called microenvironment to the patients themselves as individuals, influences cancerous growth, and ultimately the outcome of the disease. This is the take-away message from CRSy2022 – the three-day international scientific symposium that took place at the Champalimaud Foundation, in Lisbon, from 19 to 21 October.

This public event, organised by the RAISE (Researchers in Action for Inclusion in Science and Education) consortium composed of the NGO Native Scientist, the Champalimaud Foundation and the Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM), joined the 49 ERNs that took place in 25 European countries on the same date.

Organised by Broadreach Global with the European Brain Foundation (EBC), this summit will  bring together - in a collaborative, roundtable format - a highly diverse group of key opinion leaders, from  innovators, to decision-makers.

Two editions of the European Researchers’ Night will be held at the incredible premises of the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown located in Lisbon.

To reach members of the public from underserved and underprivileged communities, the European Researchers’ Night will be supported by several pre-events and co-created by researchers and members of the public, namely students from the school programmes and artists.
