During this two half-day course, participants were offered workshops and talks by renowned speakers from different disciplines of the entire cancer research continuum, with a special focus on personalized cancer medicine. The program also included group discussions, workshops, and a virtual Walk-at-the-Beach networking session. The Summer School usually takes place as a one-week event in Portugal, however for safety in planning and health in context of the pandemic, we have decided to offer a high-level, interactive virtual event. Our target group are PhD students, postdocs, and researching clinicians with an interest in translational cancer research. This school was offered free of charge.

We thank the scientific committee, all speakers and the approximately 650 participants for their contributions and for making the CCE Summer School 2021 a great success!
