We are pleased to invite you to the annual meeting of the Oncode Institute Patient Perspective Programme, taking place in Utrecht. This yearly gathering brings together researchers and patient partners to learn from each other, build connections, and strengthen the role of patient involvement within cancer research.
The meeting is open to all Oncode Institute researchers and invited guests who would like to learn more about Oncode Institute and how we involve patients in our work. Throughout the day, you will deepen your understanding of meaningful patient involvement and discover how collaborating with patient partners can strengthen your research and its impact.
Programme Highlights
The morning will feature several short presentations by (guest) speakers, followed by a joint lunch with time for informal conversations. In the afternoon, Frank Kupper (VU Amsterdam / Mens in de Maak) will host an interactive dialogue theatre session exploring meaningful patient involvement.
