ICI Summer School explores immunological aspects of cancer diagnosis and treatment ICI Summer School explores immunological aspects of cancer diagnosis and treatment ==================================================================================== General 2 August 2021 On 5-9 July 2021, the Institut Cancer et Immunologie at Aix-Marseille Université hosted a summer school welcoming almost 50 international students, with special support available for participants from the CIVIS Alliance. The Master's and PhD students benefited from the expertise of 26 world-renowned experts, whose lectures addressed various aspects of the theme "Single cell approaches to tumour and immune cell heterogeneity". Students also had the opportunity to present their own research. ![A student presents her research at the outdoor poster fair](/storage/files/ici-summer-school-july-2021-photo-4-credit-amu-elea-ropiot.jpg)***Credit****: Eléa Ropiot / AMU*> The summer school was a unique opportunity for young scientists to get their career off to a flying start, with a focus on innovative approaches in immuno-oncology. I particularly appreciated the varied topics addressed by the researchers in their lectures, which covered not only academia but also the industrial context. Finally, the week offered great opportunities for networking and allowed me to imagine undertaking a research post in another European country. > > **- Georgia Antonopoulou, Master's student at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, reflects on her experience at the ICI Summer School.** The event was such a success that the organising universities are already planning the second edition, to be hosted by the University of Bucharest in summer 2022! ![Students watch a remote lecture](/storage/files/ici-summer-school-july-2021-photo-1-credit-amu-elea-ropiot.jpg)***Credit:*** *Eléa Ropiot / AMU* Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-waves-800x600.jpg?token=4ea7a62e44f510793d7d4762d1bfd7d0)Make Some Waves: CIVIS Launches New Podcast Series Communication and Dissemination 7 April 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/make-some-waves-civis-launches-new-podcast-series) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/54805470097-31c66c77be-o-800x600.jpg?token=980b064b220959ac82b0f21d856d3439)Study, Travel, Connect: CIVIS Launches New Wave of BIPs Across Europe Learn 2 April 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/study-travel-connect-civis-bips-2026-launch-across-europe) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-coms-unit-open-labs-ulb-3-800x600.jpg?token=81a838003cdbd38bc7b7cc20d11654b8)Calling academic teams to set in motion impactful projects for democracy Connect 1 April 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/calling-academic-teams-to-set-in-motion-impactful-projects-for-democracy) [Discover all our stories](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) [ Multicultural metamorphosis: how culture and heritage shape social transformations ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/multicultural-metamorphosis-how-culture-and-heritage-shape-social-transformations >) [ HOW I SEE MY CAMPUS - The 2021 CIVIS Photo Contest & Exhibition ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/how-i-see-my-campus-the-2021-civis-photo-contest-and-exhibition >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
