The IARC Summer School 2025 in France is for researchers and medical professionals working in cancer prevention and control. The Summer School aims to foster worldwide cooperation while also providing an unparalleled multicultural and multidisciplinary learning environment. This international program will assist academics in broadening their network and improving contact with IARC teachers, expert overseas guests, and other fellow participants.

The summer research program includes two modules. The first module, “INTRODUCTION TO CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY,” will concentrate on the practical application of epidemiological principles and methodologies to various cancer control activities, with a particular emphasis on the examination of cancer causes. The second module, “IMPLEMENTING CANCER PREVENTION AND EARLY DETECTION,” will provide a complete understanding of the principles, concepts, challenges, and practices associated with early detection, cancer prevention, and program implementation.

This fully funded scholarship for international students will include both online and in-person learning activities. The online autonomous learning will last 2-4 weeks and will include live sessions as well as individual and group homework prior to the course. The five-day face-to-face program will take place in Lyon, France, and will include interdisciplinary lectures, group exercises, and practical sessions led by IARC faculty members, as well as in-person contacts with IARC scientists.
