Through its tailored initiatives, programmes and platforms, UICC provides its members with opportunities to strengthen their organisational capabilities, learn from experts, share experiences with peers and like-minded groups, and benefit from seed funding and tailored support to address key gaps. 

UICC harnesses the expertise of the global cancer community and its own experience of delivering learning and development opportunities for more than 50 years to respond to its members’ needs and maximise their impact in their own regions.
