Programmes Health MissionsThis call is open to scientific leaders in Europe keen to contribute to setting a strategic agenda of research priorities in cancer. This agenda will inform the launch of specific research funding programmes by the Mission on Cancer and will identify use cases to feed the European Federated Cancer Research Data Hub.
To achieve this, experts are encouraged to participate in one or more of the following research areas that have been identified: 1. cancer prevention, 2. early diagnosis, 3. sensitivity and resistance to therapy, 4. pediatric cancer, 5. cancer and ageing, 6. survivorship. Selected participants will be asked to provide input through online questionnaires and will be invited to join a face-to-face meeting in spring 2023, with travel expenses covered by 4.UNCAN.eu.
Interested to join? The necessary information on how to apply can be found here. Deadline for applications is 15 August 2022. Additional information can be found here.
Broader context: The Mission on Cancer Board and the European Beating Cancer Plan launched a pan-European initiative to UNderstand CANcer, UNCAN.eu, with the ultimate goal of “improving the lives of more than 3 million people, living longer and better, by 2030”. In order to define a strategic roadmap for UNCAN.eu, the European Commission has supported the creation of a Coordination and Support Action (CSA), 4.UNCAN.eu, that will identify research programs of priority in translational cancer research.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
