An Ambitious Vision for Tackling Healthcare at EU level
EU funded Joint Action
The Vision
This Ambitious Vision for Tackling Healthcare at EU level comprising seven new Networks of Expertise (NoEs) based on the concept of health networking, was created upon a request from the European Commission in the context of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP).
Joint Actions are collaborative projects involving several EU and associated countries with the objective of addressing key EU health policy priorities. These direct grants under the EU4Health and Third Health Programmes are implemented by a consortium of national public health authorities nominated by EU countries and involve the non-profit sector, academia and governmental/ national authorities.
According to Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan
- 77%increased cancer cases by 2050
- 3.7m cancer cases estimated by 2045
- 130+ participants from all Europe
- 25+ countries from European Union
The Goals
JANE-2, building on the outcomes and achievements of JANE (2022-2024), aims to build seven new Networks of Expertise (NoEs), over the next four years, focusing on transversal aspects of cancer to provide the highest standard of care within the EU – to its citizens and inhabitants – in oncology.
This Joint Action coordinated by Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nationale dei Tumori (INT), Italy, involves the cooperation of 131 organisations from 29 European countries and may provide a concrete example in the context of the EU Health Union which focuses on the mutual agreement of Member-States and the European Union for co-operation at supranational level.
