1st Summer School of the Cancer Prevention Graduate School (CPGS)

The 1st Summer School of the German Cancer Prevention Graduate School (CPGS) taking place from 5 to 9 August, 2024 at Kloster Seeon, located close to Munich in Bavaria, Germany.

Cancer is a major and straining disease burden worldwide. A large and increasing share of this burden could be prevented by effective and well-organized screening, but research on how to best design, implement and evaluate cancer screening is challenging. 

We have made every effort in putting together a comprehensive scientific program on state-of-the-art cancer screening and gaining internationally recognized experts in the field as faculty for the summer school: Here you can find the program. 

Participants will include PhD students and faculty enrolled in the CPGS, the first graduate school for cancer prevention research in Germany, as well as interested scholars outside the CPGS.
