On December 3–4, 2026, the NCT Community Retreat will bring together key stakeholders from Germany’s cancer research community at the Heidelberg Congress Center (HCC) in Heidelberg.
The retreat has established itself as an important platform for cross-site exchange, bringing together clinicians, researchers, early-career scientists, and patient representatives from the NCT, DKFZ, DKTK, and the CCC network. Participants will have the opportunity to further develop innovative study concepts for the NCT Investigator-Initiated Trial (IIT) portfolio, initiate new collaborations, and discuss emerging scientific ideas and perspectives.
