A new call for applications to UICC's Technical Fellowships opens 4 June 2025

UICC is opening its 2025 call for Technical Fellowships from 4 June, closing on 4 August. Technical Fellowships allow cancer professionals to gain new skills and knowledge in cancer control through short-term international visits of between two weeks to up to two months.   

Applicants from Latin America are able to apply in Spanish via the Becas para América Latina, and those from Francophone Africa in French via Bourses pour l’Afrique Francophone.   

Aligned with UICC’s mission, Technical Fellowships are designed to further the implementation of evidence-based interventions that have demonstrated public health impact in cancer control. Fellows may pursue topics spanning the cancer continuum, including prevention, early detection, access to treatment, palliative and supportive care, as well as topics related to the wider health system, such as cancer registries, or national cancer control planning. 

Applicants are expected to clearly articulate how their learning objectives are tailored to their individual professional context and institutional setting, while also relevant to broader needs in their home country, to help ensure that the knowledge and skills acquired during the fellowship can be effectively applied upon return, maximising their impact. 

In 2025, UICC is specifically encouraging applications related to breast and cervical cancer, particularly HPV vaccination, as well as cancer prevention more broadly. 

For individuals from UICC members who are interested in applying, and require connections or support, please contact fellows@uicc.org for dedicated assistance.
