Description
The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) Technical Fellowships support cancer professionals through international learning visits lasting two weeks to two months. The programme develops technical knowledge and skills, builds capacity through their application and dissemination within fellows’ home organisations, and creates professional networks for continued exchange, guidance and training.
The 2026 call emphasised public health and cost-effective, evidence-based cancer control strategies suited to applicants’ local contexts and wider health systems. Priorities included prevention, early detection, equitable access to affordable and effective treatment, and supportive and palliative care. Particular attention went to women’s cancers, lung cancer, people-centred care and cervical cancer projects introducing or expanding HPV vaccination. Supported research includes implementation, translational and clinical work that directly improves cancer patients’ health and well-being; purely basic research is not encouraged.
