FICAN science webinar

The aim of the national and open webinars (FICAN science webinars) is to promote collaboration, knowledge exchange, and create networking opportunities for researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders. These webinars provide a platform for sharing up-to-date information on cancer research and its results, as well as the latest developments across Finland.

The webinars are organized five times a year by each regional center. For more details on upcoming webinars, please visit the Events page.
