Idea Generation Workshops
Overview: Idea Generation Workshops
Developing a submission
An overview of idea development is given in the documents below:
In line with ANZUP’s strategic plan, and with the objectives of our Cancer Australia infrastructure funding, we hold Idea Generation Workshops. We encourage all members to bring new concepts forward for idea development to help us towards our mission to improve the lives of those affected by bladder, kidney, testicular, penile and prostate cancers.
The workshops are designed to facilitate and support all members who have an idea they would like to put forward for discussion by a panel of ANZUP multidisciplinary experts and develop the idea into a robust concept that, if supported, may be ready for the identification of funding sources. All information and ideas are treated confidentially in these workshops and ANZUP is committed to helping all participants develop their ideas.
We also encourage our emerging research, trainee and recent graduate members to attend and contribute to the workshop(s) as an educational opportunity, even if you are not presenting an idea yourself. This is also a great way to build and strengthen your network of professionals and groups researching and treating urogenital cancers.
Please RSVP to anzup@anzup.org.au if you would like to attend an IGW. If you require travel, please fill out the Travel form on the ANZUP member section of the website.
A reminder that all discussions at the IGWs are confidential,
and undertaken as an ANZUP activity.
