To reach the ambitious goals of the Cancer Mission, researchers, policy makers, health care institutions, industry and patient organisations must work together to find good solutions. This is why these communities have established a natonal hub.
Being part of the Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP), the Mission brings together research, innovation and public health policies in ways that cannot be achieved through individual research activities and policy actions at EU, national, regional and local levels.
Through its investments and engagement with citizen and stakeholders, the Mission is key for delivering the objectives and actions of the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, in particular by generating and sharing new evidence and delivering innovative concepts that shape policy actions in each of the four Mission objectives, i.e., understanding, prevention and early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and quality of life.
What does the hub intend to deliver?
Cancer Mission Hub Norway is established by various stakeholders as a central platform to strengthen Norway’s contribution to Europe's Beating Cancer Plan and Mission on Cancer by mobilizing and uniting national stakeholders across disciplines and sectors, and by fostering European collaborations.
The hub is an open environment, inviting all capable parties to join the effort against cancer.
