Today we concluded the 8th FORTEe Steering Committee Meeting! 🙌 Exciting to see the first results coming in. Now, it’s full steam ahead as we dive into the data and prepare our results for upcoming publications – stay tuned!

In early October 2024, Marco from the FORTEe Team in Milan, Italy, visited his mentor, Rodolf, in Lyon, France. This in-person meeting was a wonderful opportunity for the mentor-mentee duo to connect outside of their usual virtual sessions.

Now, let’s read about Marco’s reflection on the visit:

Meeting Rodolf and the team in Lyon was a fantastic experience!
The beauty of the FORTEe project, and in particular the Mentor-Mentee Program, is the opportunity to see how the work we do every day is carried out in other centers of excellence. It was also a wonderful moment to exchange ideas with many oncology researchers working with such passion. This experience has greatly helped me understand how to improve my work with my patients, while also giving me new ideas for the future. I thank Rodolf and his entire team for welcoming me with such warmth. À bientôt!

Thank you, Marco, for sharing your experience with us!
Together we #GetStrongToFightChildhoodCancer!
