Education Committee

Mission

The Education Committee drives IPVS’s mission to advance global understanding of HPV by creating accessible, evidence-based learning for diverse professional communities. Its role is to represent members’ educational needs, curate high-quality knowledge, and foster inclusive learning environments that elevate both experts and non-specialists.  

Goals

• Represent the educational interests of the diverse communities within the IPVS sector 

• Develop educational resources to keep IPVS members informed of current HPV-related knowledge and trends 

• Raise the level of understanding about HPV among healthcare professionals and allied stakeholders who are not HPV experts 

• Collaborate on how to develop and share quality evidence that will contribute to the educational resources 

• Promote local and junior experts globally through a range of education activities 

• Support and initiate networking activities at the international and continental levels 

Activities

The Committee leads a dynamic portfolio of educational initiatives designed to expand access to high-quality HPV learning worldwide. Current efforts include developing multilingual regional and international webinars, enhancing the IPVS Education Center and launching a content curation initiative to transform webinars into micro-learning, case studies, and workshops.  

The Committee also advances ECHO® sessions focused on challenges in LMICs. Additional initiatives include expanding podcast content, creating tailored e-learning modules, and improving localization to ensure materials reflect regional realities and linguistic needs.  

All activities are guided by member feedback, global health trends, and a commitment to inclusive, evidence-based education. 

How to get involved?

The Education Committee brings together 12–14 members from diverse regions, specialties, and professional backgrounds to ensure our programs genuinely reflect global needs and advance HPV-related knowledge. Members serve a three-year term, with a new call for applications released annually to welcome fresh perspectives and support both short- and long-term committee objectives. Selection is based on expertise, regional representation, and commitment to advancing inclusive, evidence-based education.  

When positions open, IPVS sends a mailshot inviting interested candidates to apply and join our mission to strengthen HPV education worldwide.
