Dear
AEK-Members, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen
On behalf of the programme committee I would like to cordially invite you to attend the 15th AEK International Cancer Congress held in Berlin from 18 -20 March, 2009.
The 15th International Cancer Congress of the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Experimentelle Krebsforschung” within the German Cancer Society is the forum for presenting the latest data of our members, particularly those of our young colleagues. The meeting is also open to non-members. The poster-presentations are planned as two central program highlights in the afternoons. Furthermore, oral presentations related to the main topics of the congress as well as free presentations selected by the programme committee will be given. Travel bursaries for young scientists are provided by the “Berliner Krebsgesellschaft”. Awardees will be selected from abstract submitters.
The 15th International AEK Cancer Congress covers the full range of experimental and translational cancer research in the German-speaking area. The following state-of-the-art topics will be covered by international recognised lecturers. The lecturers will give an introduction into the field followed by a description of their own results and their views about the actual issues in research.
For the first time, the international congress will be jointly subsidised by the “Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft” and the Deutsche Krebshilfe. Therefore, the congress provides an excellent opportunity to introduce projects supported by the Deutsche Krebshilfe to the research community.
The congress venue is the Henry-Ford-Bau located at the campus of the Free University of Berlin. As most of you will be aware of, Berlin is an exciting congress city and meeting place with its rich cultural programme, museums and new building sights. We very much look forward to welcoming you in Berlin this spring.
With best regards
Professor Dr. Reinhold Schäfer
