Opportunities for industry participation

It is a great pleasure for the Centre for Cancer Biomarkers CCBIO (www.ccbio.no) to invite you to the 13th CCBIO Annual Symposium, at Solstrand outside of Bergen, Norway, May 13-14, 2025. 

CCBIO’s annual symposia have 200+ participants each year and consists of a combination of talks by invited international speakers and other senior researchers, speed presentations by PhD students and postdocs, extended poster sessions where younger researchers can present their work, and time for interaction between participants. As can be seen from the overview of previous symposia and the reports from each symposium on our web pages, we have top level international speakers and a broad range of activities. The participants constitute a balanced mix of local, national and international researchers on the senior level, many of which also hold high level hospital positions and are key opinion leaders, as well as research students, technicians and administrators. Hotel Solstrand, suitably far from Bergen, constitutes an ideal venue for such meetings and most participants stay overnight.

In response to several inquiries from the industry for participation at our symposium, we will have a stronger focus on catering for academic-industry interaction in 2025, e.g. by having a separate educational plenary session focusing on career opportunities, where our industry participants can present their activities and possibilities offered by their companies. We will also allow industry participants to take part in our extended poster sessions with stands among the academic exhibitors.
