Oncology, combining preclinical (i.e. in silico, in vitro, in vivo) and clinical (early and late phases) research, becomes even more complex once we consider additional related complementary fields of investigation. Consequently, oncological research becomes more cost- and time-consuming. This Summer School will give an overview of the different axes of research in oncology and various funding sources for research. International researchers, teachers, and members from 4EU+ universities (i.e. Charles University, Sorbonne University, University of Warsaw, University of Milan, University of Copenhagen, Heidelberg University, University of Geneva) will give lectures and meet students.
