More than 35,000 children are diagnosed with cancer and treated in Europe each year. With the 1st SIOP Europe Course in Paediatric Oncology, the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOP Europe) aimed to equip aspiring physicians to become leaders within a pan-European network and ensure state-of-the-art treatment for children across Europe. Fifty participants from 24 countries and 37 centres were enrolled on the course. With a virtual and a face-to-face meeting complete, we herewith report on the course concept, application process and first meetings of this 3-year educational program.
