On September 15, the SIOPE AYA Committee participated in the ESMO Congress in Barcelona. This represented a valuable opportunity to foster our collaboration with ESMO in the field of AYA.
The AYA topic was particularly highlighted also during JANE event in Brussels, where one of the Steering Committee members of the SIOPE AYA Committee had the chance to speak about one of the future seven Networks of Expertise, "Adolescents & Young Adults (AYA) with cancer", which will soon be the focus of the JANE project starting in the coming months.
JANE, the Joint Action on Networks of Expertise (JANE), funded by the EU, presented its ambitious vision to improve healthcare through collaboration across seven Networks of Expertise, among which we can mention the Adolescents & Young Adults (AYA) with cancer.
The SIOPE AYA Committee, together with some other SIOPE Working Groups, continued to work on the INTERACT-EUROPE 100, a European project that aims to provide a multidisciplinary cancer training program in 100 cancer centers across Europe.

Last but not least, some members of the SIOPE AYA Committee attended the SIOPE Annual Meeting in May 2024. A presentation was delivered by the Committee members during the AYA session, which proved to be a fruitful and productive meeting.
