International Conference
About the Conference
Join us for the International EUCanScreen Conference in the historic city of Riga, Latvia. This pivotal one-day event is dedicated to exploring the future of cancer prevention through personalised, risk-based screening strategies.
The conference is organised by the EUCanScreen Joint Action by involving experts from this Joint Action as well as recognised specialists from outside the consortium. The objective of the meeting is to share cutting-edge evidence in personalised cancer screening to facilitate evidence-based decision-making in introducing screening personalisation.
Participants from inside and outside of the EUCanScreen consortium are welcome to participate.
