Networking Event Dublin 2016

Last year we organized the first YI Collaborative Event, sponsored by Texas Children’s Cancer center. This event in Cape Town was a great success with 100 attendees. Both young and experienced investigators were very enthusiastic about this event and we are looking forward to organize another collaborative event in cooperation with Texas Children’s Cancer center in Dublin 2016.

The collaborative event represents a unique chance for young Investigators to meet and exchange with peers in an informal environment. The evening program on 20^th October will contain a dinner at a local typical Irish venue and will deliver possibilities for networking and discussions during the evening program. Register on time and come and meet us in Dublin!

Join the discussion at the new SIOP YI-NET forum!

With its new blog format, the young investigators of SIOP YI-NET write every two weeks about their challenges as doctoral students, medical students, postdoctoral fellows, or early career clinicians.  These are the challenges they face during their PhD journey, while dealing with writing’s anxiety, after submitted papers get rejected, when balancing life outside work and research, supervising students/trainees, time management…and many others that you could read and comment on. These posts are designed to be interactive, and young investigators at SIOP YI-NET would like to encourage other SIOP members to respond to these posts with feedback and thoughts. We also welcome submissions from other SIOP members! Feel free to contact SIOP YI-NET about sharing a post at: young_investigators@siop-online.org and join the forum discussion at: http://siop-online.org/news/siop-yi-net-forum/
