UICC Awards
Recognising outstanding achievements and innovative practices from across the UICC membership.
In order to achieve our collective goals for global cancer control, we need to learn from the remarkable leaders, patients, campaigners, advocates and fundraisers from across our community of members.
The UICC Awards aim to identify and celebrate the exceptional contributions made by UICC members and inspire the cancer control community through their efforts.
Open to UICC members only, nominations are sought on Congress years in any of the seven categories below for the chance to be recognised at an Award Ceremony during the World Cancer Congress.
Upcoming UICC awards
The next Award Ceremony will take place in Oman at the closing ceremony of the World Cancer Congress on 18 March 2021.
