🍝 What are the researchers of the first TETRIS Young Researchers Week doing among food, recipes, and cooking stations?
On the final day of the TETRIS Young Researchers Week, participants stepped out of the classroom and into the kitchen for a special experience at Cascina Rosa, a unique centre in Milan dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles, nutrition education, and wellbeing for cancer patients and the wider community.
🤝 Together with Salute Donna, a member of the TETRIS Patient Advisory Board, researchers took part in a shared lunch and cooking class designed to bring together science, patients, and everyday life.
More than a social activity, this initiative reflects one of the core values of TETRIS: placing patients at the centre of research. By creating opportunities for dialogue, participation, and shared experiences, the project aims not only to advance personalised radiotherapy, but also to strengthen the connection between researchers, clinicians, patient organisations, and the people ultimately benefiting from research.
💗 Because innovation is not only about technology and data.
It is listening, sharing, and building a community together.
Congrats for the results!

🎓 Thank you for making the first TETRIS Young Researchers Week a success!
This week, young and senior researchers from across the TETRIS consortium came together for the first TETRIS Young Researchers Week.
In these five inspiring days, participants had the opportunity to collaborate, exchange ideas, strengthen scientific connections, and build a stronger community spirit, working across disciplines towards a common goal: safer and more personalised radiotherapy.
A special thank you to Paolo Zunino and his team at @Politecnico, in particular Francesca Arceci and Piermario Vitullo, for hosting and organising such a successful week.
A big thanks to Tiziana Rancati and the CMON Lab team for their guidance, support, and commitment throughout these enriching days of discussion, learning, and collaboration.
