Each year we organize a three-day retreat for all PhD students participating in the OOA. The retreat focuses entirely on research conducted by you and your fellow PhD students, either presented in a poster (juniors) or in a 12-minute oral presentation (seniors) in parallel sessions chaired by senior PhD students. The retreat is a unique and for many of you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get in touch with all aspects of oncological research. Furthermore, the retreat trains important skills in presentation, moderating sessions and discussions as well as extending your scientific and social network. The OOA retreat greatly contributes to the interaction between PhD students, both within and between the different participating institutes. An abstract book outlining the research activities of all participating students will be distributed.

The OOA retreat is always highly appreciated by all participants. Do not miss this opportunity to extend your network!
