History

In 1999, six Belgian dermatologists (T. Maselis, M. van Daele, C. Pirard, V. del Marmol, B. Richert, K. de Boulle) and their colleagues initiated the first "Euromelanoma Screening Day".

Rapidly, the concept of Euromelanoma as a major prevention campaign spread throughout the Continent.

The number of participating countries grew from 14 (2000) to 31 (2011). Several countries such as Iceland, Finland and France participated for a limited number of years.

The 31 countries participating in the Euromelanoma Campaign in 2011 and their national coordinators are listed below.

No national screening days are organized in the Netherlands and the UK. However, both countries collaborate with Euromelanoma on a scientific level.

In 2012, Turkey and Georgia will join the campaign.
