Introduction
The CCI4EU project will run over 3 years, it will define and create a Maturity Model with quality indicators, to map the status of CCIs in all Member States and in five Associated Countries. Up to 9 sites have been selected for Deep Dive interventions, with 3 onsite visits to help them build their capacity in particular domains. Along with this, tailored online courses, resources and conferences are being developed to open up the capacity building to a wider audience, with the overall aim of contributing to the Horizon Europe Mission of ensuring that 90% of eligible cancer patients have access to Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures by 2030.
The Conference Accelerating cancer research and innovation in comprehensive cancer infrastructures was held in Brussels, Belgium on 9 and 10 April 2025 and all interventions were recorded and are now available via this pages (to access the material, participants must register and login to the e-ESO platform). The event gave individuals and teams from developing CCIs direction in helping them build their capacity and develop their infrastructures.
The gap between research findings and clinical implementation poses a significant challenge in healthcare. Bridging this gap is essential to ensure that the latest evidence is incorporated into patient care effectively. This conference is aimed at professionals involved in translational research, clinical trialists, directors of science and hospital leaders.
Learning Objectives
