CRC832 and the Cologne Children University win the "Mitgefühlt" competition of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research
Together with the CRC832, a group of 10 children of the Cologne Children University volunteered to
write a children's book about cancer and the tumour microenvironment. 5 friends want to understand what is happening with their cancer-sick friend and set off for an adventure in his body discovering what the tumour microenvironment is all about.
With this book idea the team took part in the competition "Mitgefühlt", organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Science Year "Research for our health" and was one out of 6 excellent ideas that won the competition.
