The leadership of the International Cancer Screening Network in collaboration with the local organising committee is delighted to open the call for abstracts for the ICSN biennial conference to be held in Aarhus, Denmark, on June 18-20, 2025.

We welcome abstracts from across a range of themes relevant to the work of the cancer screening community; the themes for ICSN 2025 were selected based on feedback from the Turin 2023 meeting, and include cross-cutting aspects of implementation of current cancer screening programmes as well as new and emerging challenges.

The leadership is committed to bringing in a diversity of geographical and disciplinary perspectives while maintaining scientifically rigorous and relevant content to the ICSN participants. 

We look forward to engaging with you all – sharing research findings, deepening collaborations, and making new connections.

Miriam Elfström, ICSN Chair      //     Christine Campbell, ICSN Chair-Elect

On behalf of UNICCA (University Clinic of Cancer Screening) and Department of Public Health Programmes, Denmark Central Region, Randers Regional Hospital, we are very proud to host the event and welcoming the ICSN community in Aarhus, Denmark, in 2025.

The local leadership is very much looking forward to facilitate this recognized international conference, and receiving a variety of professionals committed to the many aspects of screening and world class research in the screening field.

It is our hope to see a great number of participants in June 2025.

Shaping the Future of Cancer Screening

The logo for this year’s conference is inspired by one of Aarhus’ landmarks: The Infinite Bridge, beautifully situated in the Bay of Aarhus. The perspectives and opportunities within cancer screening are infinite, and like the water gracefully surrounding the bridge, they are in constant motion. New methods and technologies of today may be outdated or replaced tomorrow, and we – as researchers and stakeholders in this field – are the ones who must ensure that every ripple, every movement, every opportunity is explored, discussed, and examined – step by step. This is why research and development is essential, why it is important to meet, network, and share knowledge, to inspire and be inspired.

On Thursday, June 19, 2025, a Social Dinner will be held at Restaurant Varna, located close to The Infinite Bridge. Perhaps this will provide an opportunity for you, either alone or with others, to enjoy a walk or two around the bridge, immerse yourself in the movement of the water – and perhaps reflect on new possibilities, new solutions, new research potentials that may help shape the future of cancer screening.

On behalf of the local organising committee we look forward to welcoming you to Aarhus, Denmark, from June 18-20, 2025.
