About this event
Welcome to the Irish Association for Cancer Research (IACR) Annual Conference 2023!
THE PATRICK G JOHNSTON AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN CANCER RESEARCH OUTREACH
This is the fifth year of the Award, which was established to encourage and acknowledge the communication of cancer research to non-scientists.
Six early career researchers have been selected as finalists based on the submission of a lay abstract of their work to the IACR.
The selected finalists then participated in a lay communication workshop, being advised and guided by cancer patients in the preparation of a short presentation of their research.
The six finalists will make their final presentations at The Patrick G Johnston Award for Excellence in Cancer Research Outreach at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Athlone at the closing event of Day 1 of the IACR 2023 conference.
This event is open to the public, who along with a judging panel, will be asked to choose the 2023 awardee by deciding on the most accessible and clear presentation! Doors will open to the public at 6pm, with talks beginning at 6:15pm.
