Moving Beyond Scientific Conference

This 2-day conference will provide an overview of the scientific landscape in the area of physical activity and cancer (from prevention to rehabilitation and survivorship). These are exciting times for research in this space as physical activity becomes more widely recognized as a powerful partner in fighting against cancer.

Come and join us for the latest findings on the science of physical activity and cancer with talks from international leaders and where we will showcase some of the ongoing science taking place at the Champalimaud Foundation. The conference will also include other “fun” activities, including a guided tour of the facilities of the Champalimaud Foundation and a selection of social events.
