The project

As a chronic non-communicable disease, cancer represents one of the main concerns in public health and one of the first positions in social expenditures.

These economic considerations, amplified by the increasing incidence and prevalence of cancer, explain why the Member States involved in the SUDOE area have established national "Cancer Plans."

The objective of the project is to establish operational links between these different Cancer Plans, to mobilize all the actors around prevention, assistance, translational research and accompaniment.

The ONCONET SUDOE project aims to analyze the actions carried out in the field of prevention, molecular diagnosis, therapeutic innovation and the use of ICT in the management of cancer patients within the participating territories of the network.

For this, the production of white papers, workshops and consensus conferences, the production of educational tools (MOOC), aimed at the three main target groups: health professionals, regulatory authorities, the general public, will be favored.

The program

The Interreg Sudoe Program supports regional development in South-West Europe by financing transnational projects through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The Program promotes transnational cooperation to solve problems common to South-West European regions, such as low investment in research and development, the low competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises and exposure to climate change and environmental risks The Interreg Sudoe Program (Interreg VB Southwest Europe Cooperation Program) was approved by the European Commission on June 18, 2015 with a budget of 141 million euros.
