Frequently Asked Questions
1. When does the European Week Against Cancer (EWAC) take place?
EWAC takes place 25-31 May each year. The aim is to spread the word about how we can prevent cancer as provided in the European Code Against Cancer. These days are fixed so the "week" can start on any day of a week. These dates are intentional to cover World No Tobacco Day on 31 May each year to give attention to tobacco control as an important issue in fighting cancer.
2. What is the theme for this year's European Week Against Cancer?
While the Official Conference organisers have chosen the themes of Healthy Lifestyle and Tobacco Control, these are suggestions and we encourage countries and organisations to choose themes based on their own priorities from the European Code Against Cancer.
3. Who is responsible for the European Week Against Cancer?
ECL (Association of European Cancer Leagues) is coordinating the events for EWAC as part of its activities committed to the European Partnership for Action Against Cancer 2011-2014, which is why the Official Conferences are being organised by ECL member societies. This is an extension of actions from the previous Europe Against Cancer programme, where cancer societies around Europe took the lead on organising EWACs.
4. Can I organise an EWAC event using the EWAC logo?
All are encouraged to organise events during or near the European Week Against Cancer. While we encourage the focus to be on one of the European Code Against Cancer themes (primary and secondary prevention), any cancer control theme would also be welcome (research, treatment, etc.). To have permission to use the official EWAC logo, requests should be made to ECL with the agenda and scope and purpose of the events, to ensure there is no duplication of efforts, clash of dates or interests. We would be happy to announce your event on our and the EPAAC website.
