ACROBATIC at Folkemødet 2026

How much of modern cancer surgery is driven by the surgeon, and how much by technology?

At this year’s Folkemødet, ACROBATIC and DCCC invite visitors to get closer to the operating room of the future through interactive activities, live demonstrations, and discussions about how new technologies are changing cancer surgery.

📍 Location: N1 - Kræftens Bekæmpelse

📅 Thursday 13:30–15:00
See the Invisible: How New Technology Guides Cancer Surgeons
Discover how advanced imaging and emerging technologies can help surgeons identify cancer tissue more precisely during surgery and improve decision-making in the operating room.

📅 Friday 10:00–11:30
Test Your Skills as a Cancer Surgeon
Try controlling surgical instruments on a screen and experience firsthand just how technically demanding surgery can be. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the challenges surgeons face when operating with advanced technology.

📅 Saturday 10:00–10:45
Is It the Surgeon or the Technology Making the Decisions Now?
Join an engaging debate on the growing role of artificial intelligence, robotics, and decision-support technologies in cancer surgery — and discuss where the balance between human expertise and technology should lie in the future.

The activities are part of a broader effort to create dialogue about innovation in cancer surgery and how technological developments may shape future treatment and patient care.

We hope to see you there
