PROJECTS & EVENTS UPDATE: International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day

15/06/2018
The International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day (ICCD2018), hosted by MEP Elena Gentile (IT, S&D), took place on 20 February at the European Parliament in Brussels.  The discussions focused on sustainable funding and that innovative ideas cannot survive if they do not get viable backing.  Unfortunately, there are severe disparities in Europe and there is a strong need for innovation / improvements across the board.  A key takeaway message was the importance of having all the actors working together and collaborating internationally.
