The Australia and Asia Pacific Clinical Oncology Research Development (ACORD) Workshop 2026, presented by the Medical Oncology Group of Australia (MOGA), is a prestigious six-day residential program dedicated to advancing clinical cancer research across the Asia-Pacific region.

Scheduled to take place from September 20-25, 2026, at the Novotel Sydney Olympic Park in NSW, Australia, the workshop is designed for early-career clinical cancer researchers – including medical, surgical, radiation oncology, palliative care, and allied health professionals – who are near the end of their training or within five years post-specialization.

Participants are selected through a competitive process based on the quality and feasibility of a proposed research concept, and the program focuses on intensive protocol development group sessions, one-to-one faculty mentorship, and lectures by leading local and international experts.
