Training Workshop in Global Oncology

Workshop participants will be challenged to think critically and from an interdisciplinary perspective about the application of appropriate designing methodological elements such as research questionnaires and translation of cancer screening approaches that could address social inequality issues in their community. Young research fellows who are currently or intend to participate in cancer research in global health are the intended audience for this workshop.

Methodological techniques in cancer research, sociology and public health views, all grounded in global health implementation research, are introduced in this workshop by experienced, committed researchers. The capacity for cancer research in global health will be strengthened by this workshop, which will ultimately lead to better cancer care for people all across the world.

At the completion of this full-day workshop, participants will be able to apply what they have learned to their topic of interest or planned project in the context of cancer research and global health. The long-term objective is to bring the cancer research-focused GLOHRA community closer together to encourage collaborative initiatives and cross-institutional collaboration in Germany and beyond.
