What is Making Progress?
At Prostate Cancer UK, we're all about supporting and inspiring Early Career Researchers. We want to help you become the next leaders in prostate cancer research. Our event, Making Progress, is here to give you the essential skills for a thriving career in prostate cancer research. Plus, it's a fantastic chance to share your research and connect with peers.
I highly recommend Making Progress as it is amongst peers, unlike other more scientific focussed conferences, it induces and allows you to network in a less pressurised environment. The event not only showcases the science but also has a focus on professional development.
Frequently asked questions
Who can attend Making Progress?
Any researcher in the early stages of their career. If you are a Technician, PhD Student, Post-Doctoral Research Associate, or Research Fellow, you are more than welcome to join us at Making Progress.
I'm not funded by Prostate Cancer UK, can I still attend?
Yes! If you don't work on a Prostate Cancer UK-funded project but do work on prostate cancer research, please use the option in the registration form to tell us how you will benefit from attending Making Progress. We'll confirm your registration via email.
Can I present my work?
For Prostate Cancer UK-funded researchers, there will be opportunities to present your work either through a Flash talk or a poster. If you are funded by us, please provide your grant reference number and submit an abstract for consideration (maximum 250 words). Our Scientific Organising Committee will shortlist abstracts, and we will invite speakers/presenters in early 2025.
Do you have an agenda?
Not yet! We're still finalising the agenda. Once we've finalised it, we will provide more details on this page. Expect a day full of opportunities to share your research, learn new skills, and hear from a man with lived experience.
Will you cover travel costs?
We aren't able to cover travel costs for this event. Please register early and book any travel and accommodation as soon as possible to take advantage of lower prices.
