I believe that we should take a position for basic research to advance in this topic. We need to look for epidemiological clues that indicate us the different tumors that could be caused by an infection, although we might not know it yet.<\/em><\/h1>\n

As basic researchers, we may have our bases in different disciplines, but our head certainly turned to the suffering of men whose hopes are in our efforts to deal with this condition, to open it out, to understand it and to stop it.<\/em><\/h1>\n

The Social impact of Science Conference will be a bi-annual conference.\u00a0 Although the second one (as an exception) will be held in 2019, we expect to have 3000 participants in 2021. In this first conference (SIS2016), we have given priority to the excellence of the participating agencies and scholars in order to dialogically define among of us the concretion of the research objective of this plural conference. SIS 2016 will be attended by 500 participants. With this number, we make possible to hold it in the most historical building of the University of Barcelona, just in the center of the city.<\/h3>\n
