About European Research Infrastructures
European Research Infrastructures (RIs) are organisations that provide the research community with access to specialised facilities, resources, and services, driving scientific progress and promoting sustainable research. Positioned at the heart of the knowledge triangle – research, education, and innovation – RIs have become essential in advancing research and innovation across Europe over the past decade. This project leverages European Life Science research infrastructures to focus on oncology research and innovation, offering support from basic science to clinical translation (from bench to bedside) to advance personalised medicine for cancer patients.
