Bridging gaps in cancer care by collaborating across borders
ECL actively contributes to numerous EU-funded research and public health initiatives. In partnership with over 70 partners – including cancer leagues, research institutes, public health organisations, university hospitals, and academic experts – we work to drive progress in cancer prevention and care across Europe.
At ECL, we help ensure that the findings from EU-funded projects are translated into real-world impact. Our core contributions to these projects include stakeholder engagement, policy recommendations, strategic communications, and dissemination of results.
ECL is also proud to participate in several EU Joint Actions – collaborative initiatives that unite national health authorities, public institutions, and other key stakeholders from multiple EU member states to address specific challenges in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or care.
