About Us

The 21st International Symposium on Paediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO 2026) is hosted by the Children’s Cancer Institute, Australia and the Kids Cancer Centre at Sydney Children’s Hospital.

Children’s Cancer Institute
Children’s Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to curing childhood cancer. Cancer kills more children than any other disease, so our research is critical. With the brightest brains, cutting-edge facilities, and the greatest determination, we will get the job done.

Kids Cancer Centre
The Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick's Kids Cancer Centre (KCC) provides a comprehensive service for children and adolescents with cancer and haematologic diseases, and conducts the largest bone marrow transplant program in the region.
