Poster session
The postersession at Danish Cancer Research Days is a key forum for scientific dialogue. Its aim is to showcase a broad spectrum of ongoing cancer research and support knowledge sharing across regions and medical specialties.
From the submitted abstracts, more than 100 researchers will be invited to participate with a poster and a short oral presentation of their study during the conference poster session.
All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary judging committee, which will select the studies to be presented at the conference.
Best Poster Award
The ‘Best Poster Award’ will be presented during the poster session. A multidisciplinary judging committee will assess the presentations and select the researcher who demonstrates excellence in both the visual design and oral presentation of their poster.
