Supporting UICC's priority mission activities

Partners are encouraged to start their collaboration with UICC by supporting UICC’s priority mission activities, laying the groundwork for deeper collaboration through programmatic initiatives tailored to shared goals and objectives. 

Mission activities comprise activities that UICC carries out to support and unite its member organisations to reduce the global cancer burden and promote greater equity. 

Specific examples include: 

  • Fostering global UICC member connections and enriching engagement through UICC’s flagship events and the UICC Connect virtual platform; 
  • Ensuring that cancer control remains a priority on the global health agenda by advocating for targeted commitments;   

  • Developing, publishing and contributing to scientific publications, guidelines, toolkits and materials of value to UICC members and wider the cancer community. 

UICC partners wishing to support UICC’s programmatic work are invited to join UICC’s path to 2028, UICC’s key objectives and focus areas for 2025 – 2028. These areas are where UICC is uniquely positioned to lead, and deliver meaningful, positive change to the lives of people affected by cancer.
