SOIREE GRAND PUBLIC : AVANCER CONTRE LE CANCER
Date: Monday 6 June 2016, 18:30 - 21:30
Venue: IARC, 150 Cours Albert Thomas, 69008 Lyon, France

In association with the conference celebrating its 50th anniversary (7–10 June 2016), IARC organized on its premises a public event in the evening on Monday 6 June, in collaboration with the Institut National du Cancer (INCa), the Centre de Recherche en Cancérologie de Lyon (CRCL), the Centre Léon-Bérard, the Cancéropôle Lyon Auvergne Rhône-Alpes (CLARA) and the Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL). The presentations, in French, focused on the progress in the fight against cancer over the past 50 years.

IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE IN CANCER PREVENTION AND CONTROL
Date: Saturday 11 June 2016, 9:00 - 18:00
Venue: IARC, 150 Cours Albert Thomas, 69008 Lyon, France

Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the integration of research findings and evidence into healthcare policy and practice. This newly emerging field intends to investigate and address major barriers (e.g. social, behavioural, economic, management) that prevent effective implementation, test new approaches to improve health programming, as well as determine a causal relationship between the intervention and its impact. This workshop, jointly organized by the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the United States National Cancer Institute and the IARC Prevention and Implementation Group, a free full-day training, was designed to allow participants to learn how to define implementation science and understand its application in cancer prevention and early detection in various health care and public health settings.

SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM CHERNOBYL: 30 YEARS AFTER
Date: Saturday 11 June 2016, 9:00 - 18:00
Venue: IARC, 150 Cours Albert Thomas, 69008 Lyon, France

26 April 2016 was the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident that led to the most serious exposure of a human population to ionizing radiation since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On this occasion, a symposium was held on Saturday 11 June 2016 at IARC. The aim of the Symposium was to overview the current knowledge on the long-term health consequences of the accident that has been gained through numerous studies in the last three decades, to discuss future research directions that will help to improve our understanding of the long-term effects of ionizing radiation on human health and to consolidate our efforts to streamline future multidisciplinary studies.

EPIGENETICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ORIGINS OF CANCER
Date: Saturday 11 June 2016, 9:00 - 18:00
Venue: IARC, 150 Cours Albert Thomas, 69008 Lyon, France

There is currently widespread recognition that epigenetics has moved from the periphery to the centre stage of cancer research. Recent studies contributed to the identification of epigenetic events deregulated by specific environmental and lifestyle stressors, and these findings continue to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of carcinogenesis, particularly those linked to risk-factor exposures and ageing. In addition, important insights into epigenetic mechanisms and associated exposure risk factors have had a functional impact on the etiologies of specific human cancers. The goals of this meeting were to evaluate the recent scientific knowledge in the field of epigenetics and environmental origins of cancer, to determine future research needs in this area, and to assess the implications of such studies in cancer causation and prevention. Participants also discussed how advances in epigenomics and the emergence of powerful technologies as well as state-of-the-art in vitro approaches may help in understanding mechanisms underlying epigenome deregulation by the environment and identifying epigenetic biomarkers. The meeting brought together a group of leading scientists in the field in order to provide the best forum for discussion on recent advances in cancer epigenetics and environment, provide advice on ongoing activities and form a basis for new initiatives and collaborations.

4th WORKSHOP ON EMERGING ISSUES IN ONCOGENIC VIRUS RESEARCH
Date: 15-19 June 2016
Venue: San Pietro in Bevagna, Manduria, Italy

The success of the first three Emerging Oncogenic Viruses workshops (held in 2010, 2012, and 2014) and the enthusiastic feedback from the participants (about 120 top scientists) have encouraged us to repeat the event in 2016 and to broaden the workshop’s scope. The meeting still focused on novel oncogenic viruses, but also included new insights on well-established oncogenic viruses. We slightly modified the name of the workshop to reflect this expanded focus. This meeting, intended for basic researchers (biologists and epidemiologists) as well as clinicians, was co-organized and sponsored by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ), with additional support from other international and Italian institutes. The objectives were to discuss and to critically evaluate the epidemiology, immunology, and biology of cancer-associated viruses.
