Networking within the scientific community—not only within one’s own field but especially across interdisciplinary boundaries—is both professionally and personally enriching and can significantly impact one’s career path. An excellent opportunity for this is regularly provided by lectures and events organized by the University Cancer Center Hamburg (UCC Hamburg), which invite both national and international researchers.

Under the title "MSNZ meets Pioneers in Cancer Research," the Mildred Scheel Nachwuchszentrum (MSNZ Hamburg) at UCC Hamburg is launching a series of events to provide early-career researchers with access to professional networks and to create a unified platform for this purpose. Pioneers in oncology research are invited for personal exchanges and/or lectures.
A "Meet the Speaker" event offers the opportunity to engage directly with the esteemed guests in a small group, ask personal questions, and learn about opportunities for collaborations or future visits to (inter)national laboratories.
