Project name: EU Network of Youth Cancer Survivors
Project acronym: EU-CAYAS-NET
Aim of the Project
The aim of the Youth Cancer Survivors (EU-CAYAS-NET) is to establish an EU Network of Youth Cancer Survivors by bringing together existing stakeholder organisations, and through this network, improve social networking and develop a Platform to improve links amongst individuals, patients, CAYA cancer survivors, carers, researchers, and social and health professionals active in cancer prevention and care across the Union.
The project will help deliver on Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan commitment to put childhood cancer under the spotlight and improve the quality of life for survivors, with synergies across a number of Flagship initiatives and other activities in Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.
