The International Chordoma Research Workshop (ICRW) is where the chordoma research community comes together to share the latest science, spark collaborations, and help set priorities for the field. You’ll meet researchers, clinicians, and industry partners from around the world—exactly the people who can accelerate progress.
The scientific program spans basic biology through clinical research, with a mix of high-impact plenary talks, interactive discussions, and a poster session—plus plenty of time to connect informally between sessions.
ICRW features a two-day scientific program (Thursday–Friday), preceded by a welcome reception on Wednesday evening (September 16, 2026) and capped with a Friday evening dinner alongside members of the chordoma patient community (September 18, 2026).
