Talented high school students in the labs!

Nearly a hundred selected high school students had the opportunity to visit some of the National Cancer Institute's research teams' laboratories during October and November. During intensive interactive workshops, they were able to experience how science is done, at least for a short while.

Collaboration


In addition to several large European and Czech scientific infrastructures, the National Institute for Cancer Research will also cooperate with various university hospitals, pharmaceutic or biotechnological companies, patient organisations, and other partners.
