Cancer is a top priority of the European Commission and it is one of the research and innovation (R&I) missions under the Horizon Europe framework programme. In addition, across the European Union, a number of  national research activities are paving the way for a joint approach to fighting cancer. In this context, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Units of the Research Executive Agency (REA), in collaboration with the Commission's Directorate General Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC), have invited a select number of promising cancer research projects to share their results and join us in exchanging ideas on how the EU can improve its various policies in the fight against cancer.

This event will take place on the 18th and 19th of March 2021.

Participants will have the opportunity to listen to leading cancer researchers representing MSCA projects in the following areas:

• Diagnostics support to clinicians
• Drug development and therapy
• Immunotherapy
• Prevention and Personalized medicine
• Quality of life of patients and survivors

It is necessary to register in order to be able to attend. Upon registration, you will receive more information on how to access the event.
