International Symposium “Tackling Inequalities in Cervical Cancer Prevention Globally”
The Chair of Epidemiology will host an International Symposium on “Tackling Inequalities in Cervical Cancer Prevention Globally: Strategies and New Methods” from 12th to 13th June 2025. The Symposium will take place near Munich, Germany, at the TUM Science and Study Center Raitenhaslach.
Cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease. Despite the availability of effective preventive measures (HPV vaccination and screening), barriers exist that often limit access, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This symposium will bring together global experts to explore strategies for understanding and addressing disparities in cervical cancer prevention, focusing on solutions to overcome these obstacles and promote equitable access worldwide.
The Symposium can be attended either on-site or virtually via Zoom. Those interested in attending, whether in person or virtually, are asked to complete the following form and send it via email to symp25.epidemiologie(at)mh.tum.de. If you register for virtual participation, you will receive a Zoom link by e-mail after registration. Participation is free of charge, but travel and accommodation expenses must be covered individually. Please note that the number of in-person participants is limited, and spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
