  • Learn from experts as they share their insights on topics related to research and career development.

Share your research:

We are excited to invite early career researchers (ECRs) to submit abstracts for our upcoming CCLG ECR Day. This is a fantastic opportunity to share your work with a supportive, multi-disciplinary audience and to spark new conversations across the children and young people’s (CYP) cancer research community. Please indicate whether you would like your abstract to be considered for:

  • Poster presentation (including a slot around lunch)
  • A 10-minute oral presentation
  • A 3-minute power pitch

Your presentation can introduce your research, share insights from your work, or raise a topic for discussion. We encourage abstracts that are engaging and accessible to researchers from all disciplines and professional backgrounds within the CCLG community.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • Basic or translational science
  • Clinical trials or studies
  • Epidemiology, diagnosis, supportive care or late effects
     
  • Psychosocial care
  • Service development and training
  • Patient/Parent and Public Involvement and engagement

We welcome abstracts from ECRs at all stages and across all relevant disciplines. Whether you’re conducting lab research, involved in clinical work, exploring psychosocial aspects, or working with families and the public—your voice is valued.

Abstract submission:

If you would like to present a poster, paper or power pitch, please submit an abstract online using our grant management system, FlexiGrant.

If you have any issues, please contact us on research@cclg.org.uk. The deadline for submission is 17:00 on Friday 19th September 2025.

See the scoring criteria for our reviewers.

We look forward to meeting our CYP ECR community in person and hearing about your important work.
