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.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
