 WCRF International is working with leading research scientists, policy makers and other health professionals throughout the world to raise awareness of the diet and cancer link, fund innovative research and stimulate new public initiatives for cancer prevention and control.
The AICR/WCRF International Research Conference is held annually in Washington, DC USA. It is the world’s leading forum on diet, nutrition and the prevention and treatment of cancer.
On 1st and 2nd November 2007, we launched our expert report Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective at simultaneous conferences in London and Washington.
Here we list a number of other events in 2008 that may be of interest to people in this field of work. The list will be updated regularly so be sure to bookmark this page and come back from time to time to get the latest information.
