Welcome Letter

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to the 3rd Pediatric Exercise Oncology Congress — PEOC meets FORTEe, taking place in Mainz, Germany, on 16–17 April 2026. This congress offers a unique platform to explore the latest scientific developments, clinical experiences, and innovative approaches in pediatric exercise oncology.

Together with the Scientific Committee of the PEOC, we have designed a rich programme that brings together leading experts and researchers. Over the course of two days, you can expect:

• Inspiring keynote presentations
• Opportunities to present your own work in various formats
• Engaging discussions during the poster sessions

The event will be enriched by the Congress Dinner and the FORTEe Science Evening at Mainz’s historic Eulchen Brauerei — perfect occasions to connect with colleagues and celebrate our collective efforts.

We are also pleased to recognize promising early-career researchers with the KKH Mainz – Award for Young Investigators, honoring outstanding presenters aged 35 and under.

Mainz, with its central location and vibrant cultural scene, provides an ideal setting to gather a diverse community of clinicians, scientists, exercise professionals, students, and patient advocates from around the world. We look forward to fostering collaborations and advancing exercise-based care in pediatric oncology together.

We warmly encourage you to join us in Mainz next spring for this important event, and to contribute your expertise and enthusiasm to this growing field.

With kind regards,
