The policy objectives for 2019-2024:

  1. Advance an enabling legislative environment for faster and more efficient development of affordable innovative medicines for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases
  2. Foster allocation of resources to childhood cancer research with focus on big data and deep learning tools
  3. Promote sustainability of the European Reference Networks (ERNs), of which ERN PaedCan is dedicated to paediatric cancer, in particular to combat inequalities in access to the best available treatment and expertise for children across Europe
  4. Support collaborative efforts on the development and implementation of appropriate surveillance guidelines and long-term models of care for survivors of childhood cancer
  5. Encourage initiatives on interoperability, harmonisation and security of eHealth platforms to foster cross-border research and knowledge transfer for the benefit of childhood cancer patients and survivors
  6. Support initiatives that foster and promote patient advocacy and empowerment in research, healthcare, and socio-economic areas
