Participants Welcome

The SIOP Asia is pleased to launch the next round of Asia-wide Country Meet-Ups for December 2025. These informal, in-person gatherings bring together paediatric oncology professionals — including clinicians, nurses, researchers and other stakeholders — to network, share experiences, and strengthen regional collaboration.

🌍 Why It Matters

Following a successful first round of Meet-Ups held between May–June 2025 — which saw gatherings in 18 Asian countries and over 600 professionals participating — the December 2025 Meet-Ups aim to deepen regional connections, support peer exchange, and ultimately improve care and outcomes for children and adolescents with cancer.

These events help build inclusive local networks, encourage knowledge-sharing, and foster solidarity among paediatric oncology professionals across diverse countries and settings. This initiative reflects SIOP’s broader goal of advancing equitable childhood cancer care globally.
