EUR 1.000.000 in EU funding available to fast-track cancer therapy development

Graz, 29 August 2024: Starting today, cancer researchers in and outside Europe can apply for complimentary access to over 400 cancer research services to accelerate the entire oncological research developmental pipeline. These services, spanning from basic to clinical science, can be combined to address pertinent research questions. Researchers with oncology-focused proposals are invited to submit their applications by 28 November 2024 via the canSERV project website and the Common Access Management System (CAMS).

Relaunch of the Open Call for Translational Service Provision

As part of a unified effort to address the challenges of cancer, canSERV offers more than 400 world-class customised oncology technologies and state-of-the-art training to cancer researchers worldwide. These services are made available via “Calls for Service Provision”.

The EU Cancer Mission and canSERV

Alongside the growing emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches in cancer research and treatment, the European Union is, as outlined in the 2021 EU Cancer Mission and Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, committed to accelerating progress in the fight against cancer over the coming decades.

To support this effort, it is essential that Europe’s cancer research community, industry, and citizens have access to the necessary tools and services.

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.
