University of Milan, 20 July 2015
The meeting is addressed to around 100 European Patient Advocates with a strong interest in rare cancers and acting both at a European and a Member States level. Starting from the Rare Cancers Europe consensus position paper on the methodology of clinical studies in rare cancers, the goal of this event is to inform and educate patient advocates about the Rare Cancers Europe recommendations, improve the awareness around the related challenges, and hopefully find fertile ground for implementation at a national level.
Venue:
University of Milan, Palazzo Greppi, Sala Napoleonica, via S. Antonio, Milan
Registration & Travel Grants
Registration to the meeting is free of charge and we are able to offer a limited number of travel grants to support travel & accommodation costs of patient advocates interested in attending the meeting.
The grant (max 500EUR x person) will be refunded after the meeting and for legal reasons this can only be done with the original invoices/vouchers (for air e-tickets, please enclose the boarding pass receipt). The appropriate travel grant refund form will be distributed in due time. ESMO’s reimbursement comprises transportation to the meeting location and back (airfare and train fare; car = train fare if nothing else is agreed upon beforehand; taxi, and parking at airport/railway station), and hotel accommodation. Personal, travel and luggage insurance is neither reimbursed by ESMO nor ESMO’s responsibility.
Travel Grant applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis. Travel grants will be allocated on a geographical and patient group base, accepting no more than 2 requests per association and country. Additional requests will be kept on a waiting list and processed at a later stage, based on the amount of financial support still available.
