The SUNRiSE network is organizing its 2^nd annual meeting entitled "Stem Cells and Cancer" in Montpellier, from the 26^th to the 27^th of june 2017, with the support of Cancéropôle GSO and Cancéropôle PACA.

Objective: The cancer stem cell consortium (SUd CaNceR Stem cEll network, SUNRiSE network) aims at promoting interactions between researchers and clinicians involved in the field of cancer stem cells (CSC) in solid tumors. The meeting targets an audience of scientists and physicians interested in CSCs, developing research projects on the study of the biology, dissemination, plasticity and resistance of CSCs on solid tumors. About 100 participants coming from Montpellier, Bordeaux, Lyon, Limoges, Marseille, Nice, Paris and Toulouse gathered on November 18^th and 19^th 2015 in Marseille for the first edition of the meeting, supported by Cancéropole PACA and Cancéropole GSO.
