The EU Research commissioner Carlos Moedas wants a “mission on cancer” during the next Framework Programme, Horizon Europe.
We estimate that there will be 22 million new cases of cancer every year in Europe in 10 years, and it already kills nearly 2 million European every year.
It is still unclear how much budget this mission will be allowed, or if it will fight cancer in general or focus on some cancers, however, European States agree on the urgent need for investment in research in that field.
