EUROCHIP-1..3 Cancer is an element of our societies Why EUROCHIP? To fight inequalities What it is? Translational research project How? Economy of scale: EU From local actions to common actions: the EU pillars of EU cancer control

1.development of a list of cancer health indicators 2.use of indicators to promote actions for cancer control 3.promoting a common view of cancer plan: collaborative actions 4.to help the development of the European Health Information System By consensus conferences involving cancer experts of EU institutes, organisations and cancer networks EUROCHIP EUROCHIP EUROCHIP
