Women in NET (WiN)
Women are an increasing presence in oncology as physicians and researchers, yet disparities in career opportunities, leadership roles, and academic support persist. Women in NET (WiN) recognises these challenges and the need for a stronger, more connected support network. We strive to create a space where experiences are shared, connections are built, and careers are strengthened.

- Joint projects, where early-career and senior professionals work together

We hope to create a space where experiences are shared, connections are built, and careers are strengthened. Join us!
