Sydney Cancer Conference 2014
About the Cancer Research Network The Cancer Research Network is again very proud to host the biennial Sydney Cancer Conference. I would personally like to thank the SCC2014 conference organising committee, led by Associate Professor Glen Reid and Dr Sonia Yip, for their extremely hard work bringing SCC2014 to fruition and delivering such a diverse and high-quality program. The Cancer Research Network, established in 2006, is a cross-Faculty initiative of the University of Sydney. The Network has been established to link cancer researchers in the University of Sydney and its teaching hospitals and affiliated research institutes and institutions, and thereby help build high quality cancer research capacity and achieve international cancer research excellence in areas of strength. The Network fosters communication with and among members to facilitate research collaboration, with an emphasis on research translation. One of the main aims of the network is to increase awareness of, and capacity for, multidisciplinary collaboration across groups. In the process, this will build a sense of community among cancer researchers across discipline and geographical boundaries. Specifically, the Network aims to: • network researchers throughout the University of Sydney and its affiliated institutes and institutions, building a sense of community across discipline and geographical barriers • increase awareness of, and capacity for, collaboration across disciplines • encourage more high quality cancer research • have a strong emphasis on research translation • build research infrastructure and assets • increase internal and external research funding • build research capacity in areas of need or priority, with a focus on achieving international excellence in areas of strength • foster networking and the establishment of mentoring relationships with experienced researchers • showcase cancer research at the University of Sydney, communicating achievements to the University, Government and the people The Network will adapt and respond to the needs of cancer researchers in the Network, and through its activities will stimulate knowledge transfer within the Network, the University and to the Government and public. This may extend to promotion of cancer research with other centres in Australia and overseas, and with the wider community both in Australia and internationally. Membership is open to employees of the University of Sydney, people employed by teaching hospitals and Institutes of the University of Sydney, or people holding an academic title award from the University of Sydney, who are active in the area of cancer research, postdoctoral fellows and postgraduate research students enrolled at the University of Sydney.
