Since it was launched, 36 months ago, ONCONET SUDOE has had seven partners: Biocat, University of Coimbra, Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, Granada Health Technology Park, Institut Català d’Oncologia, Navarrabiomed-Miguel Servet Foundation, and Université Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier (project coordinator).
The primary goal of the project was to establish a permanent cross-border cooperation network to promote cancer research through the development of multicentre projects and more competitive joint initiatives.
ONCONET SUDOE came to completion in Toulouse this June with a closing event. We were honoured to have had present the Consulate of Spain in Toulouse and a representative from the SUDOE authorities. On this two day event various results of all work packages were presented and the capitalisation of these was discussed.
At present, the project members are considering the possibility of planning a new stage, defining priority goals and identifying the relevant cancer topics to be addressed.
