World Cancer Day 2025: HaDEA project showcase

On 4 February, World Cancer Day, HaDEA organised a project showcase on ‘Fostering synergies to beat cancer: The impact of EU-funded projects’. 

The event was an important opportunity to demonstrate the impact of various grants and tenders managed by HaDEA in relation to Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the EU Mission on Cancer.  

220 people attended the event in person and close to 500 attended online. Various stakeholders were present, EU-funded projects on cancer, NGOs and health organisations working in the field of cancer, National Contact Points and National Focal Points and policymakers. 

The discussions across all panels highlighted the critical importance of collaboration, data use and sharing, equity and innovation in addressing cancer care and research. The focus of the event was on cross-sector synergies and a multistakeholder approach, which are vital for advancing cancer care and enhancing patient outcomes.
