Priviliged to have spent 4 days with friends and colleagues from all over the 🌎in the beautiful historic setting of AKSS Spetses for the first “Workshop on AI in Oncology: applications & challenges”. We interacted and learned from AI experts, delved into the exciting new world of AI possibilities and dynamic potentials in oncology, laughed and shared amazing moments in Spetses, the island of unique energy, cherished and celebrated old friendships and fostered new ones, enjoyed a few unforgettable days of togetherness. And also organised and followed our @I3Lung annual meeting, celebrating 2 years of working together! thank you all for coming, each one has and is making an incredible difference and together we rock! Safe travels back home to everyone and see you all next year! ❤️
