Dr Marcin Miszczyk, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor at the Collegium Medicum - Medical Faculty of WSB University, has been admitted to the 2027 EORTC Early Career Investigator (ECI) Program - an elite development programme of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), designed to prepare a new generation of leaders in international clinical oncology research.
The scale of applications demonstrates the high level of selection: 120 EORTC members applied to the programme, and only 40 were selected to participate. Dr Miszczyk is among this select group, representing WSB University.
The EORTC ECI 2027 programme comprises nine mandatory sessions spread throughout the year - two in-person sessions and seven virtual sessions. The first in-person meeting will take place in Brussels on 23 - 25 March 2027 and will be combined with participation in the EORTC Summit 2027, one of Europe’s most important events dedicated to clinical oncology research. The final in-person session is scheduled for 29-30 November 2027. Participants who complete the full programme will receive a certificate accredited with Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits.
The aim of the programme is to prepare early-career researchers to design, conduct and lead international clinical oncology trials in line with the highest methodological standards of the EORTC - an organisation that has been shaping the direction of clinical oncology research in Europe for decades. Dr Miszczyk’s research focuses on urological oncology and radiation oncology. His participation in the EORTC ECI programme is in line with the strategy of WSB University, focused on building the international standing of its Collegium Medicum in the area of scientific research and the education of medical professionals.
The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) is an independent scientific organisation headquartered in Brussels. Since 1962, it has coordinated international, multicentre clinical oncology trials and set methodological standards in this field.
