St. Petersburg International Oncology Forum White Nights

7th St Petersburg International Oncology Forum White Nights 2021: Seven Days of Knowledge

This year the Forum will be held online from June 21 to June 27. As always, the Ministry of Health of Russia has included the Forum in its schedule of science and practice events for 2021.

The organizing committee’s goal is to make the Forum a content-packed yet attendee-friendly event so that anyone could attend every session they wish without leaving the office. The sessions will be steamed live for seven days and spread into 4-6 tracks, totaling more than 220 hours of unique scientific content.

Almost an entire day will be dedicated to live surgical broadcasts.

For a whole week oncologists and professionals from other disciplines, mid-level health professionals as well as scientists, journalists and public health administrators will be sharing their knowledge and skills, and discussing pertinent issues in the field of healthcare and oncology in open debates.

Continuing the last year’s tradition, the Forum will feature dedicated sessions for NPOs and patients.

Participants will be able to ask prominent international and Russian oncologists, young promising physicians and scientists their questions in the online live chat.
