GSO4SCHOOL Summer School 2020
European School of Oncology (ESO) will cover journalists’ travel, accommodation and subsistence costs
ESO is collaborating with the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) to offer 15 health journalists a unique opportunity to attend the ESMO 2014 Congress in Madrid, Spain (26-30 September 2014), to hear the leaders in clinical research talk about progress in treating cancer, including successes and setbacks in moving towards ‘precision medicine’, where treatments are finely tuned to the individual patient, and the molecular characteristics of their cancer and the host tissue.
ESO will cover journalists’ travel, accommodation and subsistence costs. It will also provide a briefing session before the conference to help journalists get the most out of their attendance. A roundtable discussion will be organised at the close of conference where journalists can quiz leading researchers, policy makers, politicians and patient advocates, about the implications of these latest scientific and medical developments within the context of today’s cash-strapped health services.

ESO organizes workshops on covering cancer stories in the mass media. These workshops provide journalists with a forum for discussing challenges, sharing solutions and honing their skills in covering stories on all aspects of cancer. The workshops are open to all journalists with a track record of covering cancer stories in print, on radio and television or online.
