Detailed Call Description
This coordination and support action aims to develop the operational concept of the UNCAN.eu initiative. The proposal should address, among others:
- Integration with ESFRI European Research Infrastructures, European Reference Networks, as well as other international cancer-centred research and data initiatives (e.g. 1+Million Genomes, SPECTA, etc.), as well as data exchange with national cancer data ecosystems;
- Sustainable and interoperable data platforms facilitating data access in compliance with data protection legislation and ethical principles, which will be developed in the framework of a future Health Research and Innovation Cloud, a thematic cloud under the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), which will also address the data requirements of the European Health Data Space (EHDS)[6] and be interoperable with it;
- Mechanisms for determining clinical priorities and development of new models and technologies to interrogate the interactions of cancers and their host.
