Deadline: 15-Sep-21
The European Commission (EC) is offering Action grants for the EU Network of Youth Cancer Survivors to improve the quality of life of children and young adult cancer survivors through improved social networking and the use of a platform to improve the links amongst individuals, patients, cancer survivors, and social and health professionals active in cancer prevention and care across the Union.
The action will improve communication between children and adolescent cancer survivors, formal and informal carers, and civil society, and will strengthen the knowledge on how to better recognise the risk of getting cancer, and how to make a difference in the lives of young people with cancer and survivors, and allow them to learn how to become an advocate to bring key messages and knowledge on cancer survivorship to civil society.
