The European Cancer Summit 2024 aims to unite the cancer community in accelerating efforts against the disease. Experts, patients and policymakers will explore new innovative solutions to pressing challenges faced by healthcare systems across Europe and propose new opportunities in cancer research.

The Summit will showcase what is possible when we put aside our differences and work together for more effective, efficient, and equitable cancer care throughout Europe. The theme of this year’s Summit is United Against Cancer: Forging New Frontiers. Among the speakers are Stella Kyriakides, European Commissioner for health and food safety, several members of European Parliament as well as several members of the EU Cancer Mission board.

More information and registration on the event webpage. This is a hybrid event, taking place in Brussels and online. Note that it is a paying event.

The European Cancer Summit will be followed by a Showcase Event for the smartCARE and PROTECT-EUROPE projects on 22 November, at the same venue. Find out more here.
