[ Swiss Cancer League | Funding for scientific conference ]

The Swiss Cancer Research foundation (since 1990) and the Swiss Cancer League (since 1910) work towards a world where fewer persons get cancer, fewer persons suffer the consequences and die of cancer, more persons are cured of cancer, and persons with cancer and their families receive care and support in all phases of cancer and in dying. Their main objective is to provide funding for all areas of cancer research: basic, clinical, epidemiology, psychosocial research and public health. A special focus is placed on funding patient-centred research projects that result in direct patient benefit.

The Swiss Cancer League / Swiss Cancer Research foundation can provide financial support for the organization of international scientific conferences for cancer related research. The conference must be held in Switzerland and have a clear interest in the development of research against cancer in Switzerland.
