We therefore conceived a high-level scientific conference, organized by postdocs and young clinicians, where scientific excellence is paired with close interaction between speakers and participants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a51719ba61d8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a51719ba61d8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"813\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetings-toulouse.fr\/assets\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ys2c-2026-1200x813.jpg\" alt=\"YS2C 2026\" class=\"wp-image-21371\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meetings-toulouse.fr\/assets\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ys2c-2026-1200x813.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.meetings-toulouse.fr\/assets\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ys2c-2026-600x406.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.meetings-toulouse.fr\/assets\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ys2c-2026-400x271.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.meetings-toulouse.fr\/assets\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ys2c-2026-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meetings-toulouse.fr\/assets\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ys2c-2026-1536x1040.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.meetings-toulouse.fr\/assets\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ys2c-2026.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">YS2C 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>From its very first edition, YS2C has had a European focus. Led by a Franco-German organizing committee, the conference promotes collaboration among basic, translational, clinical, and computational research, based on the conviction that the challenges of cancer can only be met by bringing together complementary expertise across borders and disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of the first edition led YS2C to become a traveling conference. After Toulouse (2023), Montpellier (2024), and Berlin (2025), the fourth edition will return to Toulouse on October 1 and 2, 2026, with the theme \u201cAdvances in Cancer Therapeutics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, YS2C brings together participants from all over Europe and beyond: researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians, students, postdocs, patient advocates, and established scientists. Each edition offers young researchers a unique opportunity to present their work, exchange ideas with international experts, meet scientific journal editors, and develop collaborations that can accelerate their careers and research projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ys2c.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More information<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young Scientist Cancer Congress The Young Scientist Cancer Congress (YS2C) is an international scientific conference dedicated to cancer research, founded in Toulouse in 2023 by a group of French and German postdoctoral researchers and young clinicians.
