Technical support The development of the web platform and the transfer of quantitative data for the European Union was facilitated by Mr Mariano Tomatis under the guidance of Dr Antonio Ponti. Technical advice and templates from the IARC Cancer Today website (maps, charts, and graphs) were provided by Dr Freddie Bray, Mr Frederic Lam, and Mr Morten Ervik (IARC Section of Cancer Surveillance). The transcription of the qualitative data and the extraction of data for the country profiles were performed by Mr Antoine Kossi Abalo as part of an internship (Université Lyon I). We gratefully acknowledge the contributions and valuable suggestions made by Dr Karen Müller of the IARC Communications Group.

Financial support This project is partly funded by IARC intramural funds and by the European Union Public Health Programme (Scientific and technical support to the European Partnership for Action against Cancer and follow-up of the implementation of the Council Recommendation on Cancer Screening (IARC_SCR) with support from grant agreement No. 2011 5303) for the preparation of the European Cancer Screening Report 2017. Dr Silvana Luciani from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) supported the organization of the meeting to harmonize data collection tools and methodologies for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). The European Union Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy, supported the organization of the meeting on the monitoring activities of European cancer screening programmes. CHAIN, Centre for Global Health Inequalities Research supports the analysis of interventions to reduce social inequalities on the participation in cancer screening in Community of Caribbean and Latin American States (CELAC). The training platform was partially sponsored by American Cancer Society (ACS), National Cancer Institute (NCI-US), Medical Research Council (MRC-UK), and WHO Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe).
