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.

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.
