    What this call funds

    This call funds collaborative research projects that use cutting-edge genomics tools to discover new ways to treat cancer, especially childhood and rare cancers with few existing options. It supports work to understand how tumours change over time and interact with the body, and to build shared digital data resources so researchers and doctors across Europe can use these discoveries. Projects should combine lab research, clinical data and computational tools, and contribute datasets to a shared EU cancer research platform.
