EFPIA, EUREGHA & Cancer Patients Europe are organising an event that will focus on developing a roadmap at country level to address the growing burder of cancer in Europe. 

The event aims to bring together various stakeholders such as policymakers, regional health authorities, patient advocates, and healthcare providers. Through an exchange on the opportunities for health systems and the tangible benefits for patients, as well as an exploration of the challenges in translating research into practical solutions, the event will spotlight successful EU initiatives and regional approaches to uptake precision oncology.

Testimonial

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
