About the event

What happens when Europe connects research, innovation, policies and people around one shared goal? Significant breakthroughs for better cancer control. Together, we make a difference.

From 29 September to 1 October 2026, the European Commission brings together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, patients, innovators, funders and industry representatives in Brussels to mark five years of the EU Cancer Mission and look at the road ahead to its 2030 goal, alongside Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.

Across three days of discussions, interactive sessions and project showcases, the event spotlights breakthrough ideas, bold collaborations and the people driving change across Europe’s cancer ecosystem, from prevention and early detection to personalised medicine and quality of life.

PHOENIX will join the showcase to present its work on safer, more personalised therapies for children and adolescents with high-risk cancers.
