With this full-day event we will present international leaders in fields of cancer research, to which Eva (1925-2025) and Georg Klein (1925–2016) and their Department of Tumor Biology (1958–1993) made pioneering contributions for 35 years; tumor immunology, tumor suppression, cancer genetics, cancer genes and tumor virology.

Some of our invitees were also close collegial friends of Eva and Georg. We will also invite some of Evas and Georgs former students for short presentations. We anticipate interactive discussions on the future direction for tumor biology intermingled with music performances.
