On behalf of EUROSKIN and the organising committee, we kindly invite you to participate in the 5th International UV and Skin Cancer Prevention Conference, being held Tuesday 5-Friday 8 May 2020 in the historic city of Mechelen, Belgium. The Lamot Heritage and Conference Centre, a former brewery, will deliver an excellent background for a productive conference.
Together with our partners (German Bundesamt fur Strahlenschutz, World Health Organization, European Cancer Leagues, The Danish Cancer Society, The Norwegian Cancer society, The Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority and the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland…….) we have developed an attractive programme which brings together outstanding experts from the international scientific and skin cancer prevention community. Through inspiring keynote lectures and invited talks about new developments, discussions and presentations of field work recommendations for better prevention in the next decades will be developed. It is our aim to foster discussions and summarise our knowledge into shared recommendations, which will help to improve future skin cancer prevention. This is an ambitious aim, but we’re sure that together with your input and help we’ll come to a good and useful result at the end.
