Three days of an intensive program, top lecturers, professionals from various fields of academic and clinical oncology representing several European universities, and over 30 students who were not afraid to tackle challenging topics such as preclinical research, drug development, or bioinformatics. That was the 4EU+ Against Cancer Summer School – a project of the European University Alliance 4EU+, with Czech contributions to the academic program provided by researchers from the National Institute for Cancer Research (NICR).

From June 30 to July 11, 2025, the 12th annual Summer School of Experimental Surgery took place at the Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in Pilsen. This prestigious international educational event is traditionally organized by a team led by Václav Liška, whose research group is part of the NICR.
