WHAT IS THE COE?
A congress by students for students
The congress International Oncology for Students (COE) is a non-profit initiative developed by students of the Schools Biomedical Sciences at the University of Navarra.
Every year hundreds of students from universities around the world gather in Pamplona with the main goal to learn everything related to the research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of cancer from the scientific, human and social perspective. The COE is an opportunity to acquire knowledge, experiences, and be an active part of the fight against cancer. But above all, it is an opportunity to meet hundreds of people like you from different universities and countries with whom to share a weekend in Pamplona that promises to be unforgettable.
