Each year the OOA organizes a three-day retreat for all PhD students participating in the OOA (NKI-AvL and Amsterdam UMC). The retreat focuses entirely on research conducted by you and your fellow PhD students, either presented in a poster (juniors) or in a 12-minute oral presentation (seniors) in parallel sessions chaired by senior PhD students. The retreat is a unique and for many of you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get in touch with all aspects of oncological research, from basic molecular biology and applied physics to clinical trials and quality of life research. Furthermore, the retreat trains important skills in presentation, moderating sessions and discussions as well as extending your scientific and social network.
