“Reflections from the SIOP2025 Congress | Amsterdam
What an inspiring and joyful week at the SIOP2025 Congress in Amsterdam!
It was truly wonderful to reconnect with so many colleagues and friends – the energy, the science, and the sense of community were unmatched.
A heartfelt thank to the organizing committee and Prinses Máxima Centrum voor kinderoncologie for hosting such a memorable and beautifully organized event.
It was a pleasure to meet our Global Neuroblastoma Network (GNN) team in person and share updates on ongoing collaborations, as well as to connect with our SIOP Global Health Network Adolescents & Young Adults (GHN AYA) Working Group members to discuss upcoming projects and new initiatives.
Proud to have presented our poster and to contribute to the vibrant exchange of ideas that make SIOP such a special platform for pediatric oncology professionals worldwide.
Special thanks to my wonderful co-chair and friend Gabriela Villanueva for her incredible support and teamwork throughout this journey – it’s always a joy to collaborate and build together.
I also greatly enjoyed the Young SIOP meeting, where we had engaging discussions about strengthening collaboration, mentorship, and next steps to support the next generation of pediatric oncology professionals.
I’m also deeply grateful to my mentor Prof. Gevorg Tamamyan, who first introduced me to the SIOP family years ago — a community that has since become an essential part of my professional and personal growth.
Equally proud of my amazing colleagues and friends from the Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, Ministry of Health of Armenia , whose dedication and teamwork continue to strengthen pediatric oncology in Armenia.
Grateful for the friendships, inspiration, and renewed motivation — looking forward to all the exciting work ahead!
See you all next year.”
