Webinar: Towards 80% awareness of the European Code Against Cancer in 2025

European Cancer Leagues is organising a public webinar on the topic of measuring the awareness of the European Code against Cancer (ECAC) consistent with the ambitions of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.

The webinar features expert speakers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) and aims to provide the European Commission with some suggestions, and informal guidance to inform the process of measuring awareness of cancer risk factors and risk reduction measures.

ECL aims to convene cancer leagues, scientists, policymakers and staff from health NGOs to discuss and reflect on:

• the practicalities of measuring the ECAC awareness as referenced in Europe's Beating Cancer Plan and its Implementation Roadmap;
• potential tools and methods that may be available to perform the task in practice.

To inform this discussion, the webinar will present the following sessions:

• an overview about measuring success in cancer prevention and basic epidemiological measures (IARC)
• a presentation on recent studies to estimate awareness specific to the ECAC (ECL)
• an example of the national cancer barometer study in France (INCa)
• an overview of plans to update the ECAC to a 5th edition (IARC).

Presentations shall be followed by a discussion with speakers and the audience.

The event will take place online on 25 February 2022, 14:00-15:30 CET.

Registration for the event is available here.
