In addition\, oral presentations and chaired poster sessions will continue to be the heart of the meeting. For the first time\, we will have parallel sessions so that you can always find a session that interests you. \nOn Wednesday 26 June we will have two parallel scientific pre-congress activities for basic and clinical scientists. For basic scientists\, a highly interesting postgraduate course will focus on “The Power of Technology”\, with additional lectures on translational topics “From bench to bedside”. In parallel\, the first joint EPC-ESGE Workshop on Diagnosis and Therapy of Pancreatic Diseases will take place\, with debates between endoscopists\, surgeons and young pancreatologists. A conference in memory of our dear Claudio Bassi will complete the day’s activities. \nIn addition to the above\, there will be innovation rooms where you will have the opportunity to meet experts\, receive hands-on training and learn about the latest technological developments. \nThe EPC meeting will be a unique opportunity to interact and promote networking and research collaboration. A place to find many interesting people with whom to share scientific ideas and strengthen friendships. \nI hope that all these scientific initiatives will encourage you to attend the Congress \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n We look forward to seeing you in Santiago! \nDr. J.

We will officially invite\, and therefore offer to pay for travel and daily allowance:\n– Members of the CG and other leadership;\n– Members of the MC (not more than one per institution);\n– A number of early career researchers. The exact number will depend on how many MC members will attend the meeting.\nEveryone else who is a member of at least one WG is very welcome to attend the meeting\, paying for their own expenses. There will be no fee to participate in the meeting. \nWe define early career researchers as follows:\n– They must be part of a WG (they will have to specify which one(s) in their application);\n– They must be currently MSc/PhD/MD students\, or have obtained their PhD/MD degree less than 10 years ago (considering career breaks\, which should be detailed in their application). \nEarly career researchers who wish to be considered for an official invitation should submit an application. Applications will be evaluated by the CG according to these criteria:\n– Applicant CV with motivation statement about commitment to pancreatic cancer research (max 2 pages; applications longer than 2 pages will be disqualified): up to 20 points;\n– Applicant country of origin: 5 extra points for applicants affiliated with an institution in a COST Inclusiveness Target Country (ITC): Albania\, Armenia\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Bulgaria\, Cyprus\, Czech Republic\, Estonia\, Croatia\, Georgia\, Greece\, Hungary\, Lithuania\, Latvia\, Malta\, Moldova\, Montenegro\, Poland\, Portugal\, Romania\, Slovenia\, Slovakia\, Republic of North Macedonia\, Republic of Serbia\, Türkiye and Ukraine;\n– Applicants who are currently students (MSc/PhD/MD): 5 extra points;\nIn order to be as inclusive as possible\, we will prioritize ensuring that as many countries and institutions as possible are represented. \nYou can submit your application to f.canzian@dkfz.de starting immediately. \nThe deadline is April 25. \n \n \n \n \n \n Useful Files for Your Presentations\n Here are a document with guidance on how to prepare your presentation and a ppt template\, feel free to use as it is or with modifications. \n  \n\n\n\nTRANSPAN WG Sessions Content Structure\n\nTRANSPAN 2024 WG Session Template pptx \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Agenda\n Download the Agenda for the Meeting in PDF URL:https://transpan.eu/event/general-assembly-meeting/ LOCATION:Auditorium of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC)\, Rua de San Francisco\, Santiago de Compostela\, A Coruña\, 15782\, Spain CATEGORIES:Transpan Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://transpan.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/santiago-2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Prof. Federico Canzian":MAILTO:f.canzian@dkfz.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20240417T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20240417T183000 DTSTAMP:20240610T122106Z CREATED:20240304T110333Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240610T122106Z UID:506-1713340800-1713378600@transpan.eu SUMMARY:Spring TRANSPAN Early Career Stage Investigators' Workshop for Research in Pancreatic Cancer and Rare Pancreatic Neoplasms DESCRIPTION:Informations\n This workshop is specifically designed for young researchers.
