The Societal Impact of Pain joins the thematic group “Quality of Life” of the Stakeholder Contact Group on the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.
On 3 February 2021, the European Commission presented Europe’s Beating Cancer plan. The plan sets out actions to support, coordinate and supplement Member States’ efforts at every stage of the disease: from prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, to an improved quality of life for cancer patients and survivors. Cross-cutting themes include research and innovation, digital and personalised medicine, and action to reduce cancer inequalities across the EU. A particular focus will also be on childhood cancers.
SIP will be participating in the work of the “Quality of Life” thematic group and provide input to the Commission on the implementation of the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the Horizon Europe Cancer Mission in areas under the remit of the thematic group.
