Deadline: 7-Sep-22
The European Commission (EC) is offering grants to Establishing of national cancer mission hubs and creation of network to support the Mission on Cancer.
The integration of the Mission on Cancer with activities at national, regional and where relevant at local level will be of utmost important to ensure its success. Taking into account the differences of national health and research and innovation systems, the coordination and support of cancer mission-related activities at national, regional and where relevant at local level are essential in this regard. At the same time, synergies with actions under Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan need to be generated.
A national cancer mission hub will be established in each Member State and Associated Country. Its activities will include awareness raising and coordination of the Mission's activities among and with relevant actors in national, regional or local research and innovation and health systems, while also generating and leveraging synergies with Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, thus fostering an enhanced policy dialogue on cancer control at national, regional or local level.
Details
Notably these hubs will:
- Facilitate integration of the activities of the Mission on Cancer at national, regional, and local levels e.g. identifying synergies between European, national, regional and local policies and initiatives related to cancer;
- Facilitate engagement of relevant actors and stakeholders at national, regional or local level going beyond the research and innovation and health systems to cover all relevant areas in cancer control and support policy dialogues on cancer (examples include employment, education, socio-economic aspects);
- Support citizen engagement activities at national, regional and local levels, including new participatory formats.
