Fellowships

What is the UICC Fellowship Programme?

The Fellowship Programme plays a major role in UICC's mission. Alongside other capacity building offers, it aims to reduce the global cancer burden by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, expertise and technical skills. The programme also enables networking and collaboration across institutions and countries.

UICC fellows come from around the globe and work in all areas of cancer control. The fellowships allow them to visit world-renowned institutions in order to learn best practices and new skills.

What type of fellowships are available?

Technical Fellowships are open to candidates holding a Master's degree or medical equivalent. Funding contributes towards travel costs and living expenses during a one-month visit. The Technical Fellowships programme has been adapted to support applications from francophone Africa, including the opportunity to apply in French. More information is provided below. 

Les Bourses pour l’Afrique Francophone sont des bourses d’un mois spécifiquement destinées aux personnels de santé et autres professionnels travaillant dans le domaine du cancer et basés en Afrique francophone.

The YY Study Grants  provide an important opportunity to advance cancer research through international collaboration. Their purpose is to enable individuals from any country to carry out cancer research projects abroad and including the opportunity to receive further training in research methods or techniques.

Programme chairs and reviewers

The selection process would not be possible without the high quality evaluations provided by international experts in the many different fields of cancer control, that inform the programme chairs when making the final funding decisions. We sincerely thank both chairs and reviewers for their time and dedication.
