Introduction
CCI4EU (Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures for Europe) is a European project aiming to help Member States and Associated Countries improve or develop their existing or future Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures (CCIs), by helping develop their research & innovation-related capacities.
The CCI4EU project will run over 3 years. It has already defined and created a Maturity Model with quality indicators, to map the status of CCIs throughout the EU and potentially in five Associated Countries. 9 sites have been selected for Deep Dive interventions, with 3 onsite visits to help them build their capacity in particular domains. Along with this, tailored online courses, resources and conferences are being developed to open up the capacity building to a wider audience, with the overall aim of contributing to the Horizon Europe Mission of ensuring that 90% of eligible cancer patients have access to Comprehensive Cancer Infrastructures by 2030.
The Conference Bringing Research Insights into Clinical Implementation was held in Warsaw, Poland, on 10 and 11 October 2024 and all interventions were recorded and are now available via these pages (to access the material, participants must register and login to the e-ESO platform). The event gave individuals and teams from developing CCIs direction in helping them build their capacity and develop their infrastructures. The conference was intended to widen the participation of this EU grant to all Member States. The gap between research findings and clinical implementation poses a significant challenge in healthcare. Bridging this gap is essential to ensure that the latest evidence is incorporated into patient care effectively. This material is aimed at professionals involved in translational research, clinical trialists, directors of science and hospital leaders.
Learning Objectives
Understand the importance of capacity building in research and innovation.
Learn how to develop a research programme.
Identify the ways to bring research findings into clinical settings.
Enhance collaboration between the Stakeholders and other research centres.
Explore real-world case studies and examples of successful/unsuccessful and ongoing research.
Official language
The material is provided in English. Translations will not be provided, but English subtitles can be found in the videos.
Registration
Registration to the course is free but mandatory. Registration will be confirmed by e-mail.
Certificate of attendance
Participants will be issued a certificate of attendance once they have completed a minimum attendance of 75% of the entire course. An online evaluation questionnaire must be completed in order to receive the certificate that will be issued by email. The evaluation questionnaire will appear in the right-hand column of the course page when participants have completed 75% of the course.
