Cancer is a multifactorial disease, with causes ranging from molecular events to the life style, and subtle interactions among those. It originates from the very intimacy of multicellular living systems, and requires a multidisciplinary effort to be understood and, ultimately, defeated. 

The aim of our conference will be to gather biologists, philosophers of science, mathematicians, systems biologists, sociologists, medical doctors to name but a few, to foster a broad interdisciplinary conversation about the multifaceted nature of Cancer.

We decided to organize this conference IRL, and we hope the state of the pandemics will allow it. If so this will be held in the Amphithéatre Descartes at ENS de Lyon.

Please note that registration is FREE but MANDATORY

Abstracts (in english) should not exceed 500 words and should be submitted before the 15th of September 2022 through the website. They must contain the title and the names and affiliations of the authors. Selected abstract will be notified before the end of September.
