Sponsored Events

Research is further supported and promoted with the sponsorship of important events that occur across Canada. This helps to transfer knowledge among researchers and health care professionals; which may lead to the identification of emerging trends, building capacity within the research community and the spurring of innovation around the cause of and cure for brain tumours as well as quality-of-life issues.

In 2012, we are working with a number of partners on sponsored events for the neuro-oncology and neuroscience community. Events that will recieve support in 2012 include:

• Canadian Neuro-oncology Conference (CNO);  Vancouver, BC February 9th-11th, 2012
   
• Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation Conference (CNSF); Ottawa, ON June 6th-8th, 2012
   
• International Brain Tumor Research and Therapy Conference (IBTRTC); Niagara Falls, ON June 20th-23rd, 2012
   
• International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO); Toronto, ON June 24th-27th, 2012
   
• Society for Neuro-Oncology- Washington, DC USA (SNO) November 15th-18th, 2012
   

Other events that have received support in the past include:

Canadian Neuro-Oncology (CNO) Conference, run by the Canadian Brain Tumour Consortium

 Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) Conference

If your organization is hosting a conference, event or think tank that supports research into the causes of and cure for brain tumours we may be able to support your efforts.
