INTERACT-EUROPE 100 is an ambitious project to provide cancer care professionals with essential knowledge through an Inter-specialty Cancer Training (ISCT) curriculum in 100 cancer centres across Europe. Building upon the work of INTERACT-EUROPE, its predecessor, INTERACT-EUROPE 100 is a 36-month project (December 2023 – December 2026). It is co-funded by the European Union under the EU4Health programme 2021-2027 as part of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and involves 38 partner organisations from 15 European countries in developing the curriculum. The European Cancer Organisation is the Coordinator of this Project.
The European School of Onolcogy is the leader of WP3 (Programme Delivery) and is responsible for various tasks. In particular, ESO has to organise and perform the inter-specialty cancer training programme delivery across Europe, to create a network of central and local facilities to support the delivery of the inter-specialty cancer training programme. ESO will organise 8 Train the Trainers courses and will support and monitor participants' attendance of the educational programme. ESO is also in charge of CME accreditation application and of the production of a delivery guide to ensure that cancer centres have all the necessary information and details in order to complete the training programme.
Join INTERACT-EUROPE 100 and put your centre at the forefront of healthcare training.
