Engaging with citizens is at the heart of the Cancer Mission approach. This year as part of its citizens engagement activities, the EU Cancer Mission team will be present at the Brussels 20km on Sunday 26 May 2024. Come meet the team members at the 'BIG' stand, and learn more on the vital role of research and innovation in delivering innovative solutions for patients and survivors, while contributing to the development of more effective, evidence-based cancer control strategies. The stand will be located on the Esplanade du Cinquantenaire behind the arcades (Army Museum side).What is an EU mission? Under the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme 2021-2027, five EU missions have been launched to bring concrete solutions to some of our greatest challenges, including one on cancer. The overarching goal of the EU Cancer Mission is to improve the lives of more than 3 million people by 2030 through prevention, cure and for those affected by cancer including their families, to live longer and better.
