MSCA Staff Exchanges 2025: HORIZON-MSCA-2025-SE-01-01

MSCA Staff Exchanges involve organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (including SMEs) from all over the world.

Support is provided for the international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility of staff. R+D which promotes the transfer of knowledge between participating organizations.

Mobility through stays

The organizations that form the association contribute directly to the implementation of a joint project of R+D by sending and/or hosting eligible staff. Such a project should explore activities that can build on previous work, but should also go beyond that, generating or strengthening long-term collaborations. The placements should involve physical mobility of eligible staff members and should always take place between legal entities independent of each other.

EACR-OECI: Patient Involvement in Cancer Research

The patient perspective in cancer research is vital to creating more effective, compassionate, and equitable research that truly benefits those affected by the disease. Patient focus organizations are working on empowering patients to actively participate in decision-making, treatment planning, and research design, fostering better outcomes and relevance, but there is still work to be done.

By actively incorporating patients' perspectives, research can better address key aspects of cancer care, such as patients' quality of life, symptom management, and treatment side effects. Patients can also highlight gaps in communication and in current treatment options or areas where existing therapies fall short, leading to the development of innovative approaches to care.

This virtual event, a collaboration between theEACR and the OECI (Organisation of European Cancer Institutes), will explore how meaningful involvement of cancer advocates throughout the research process can lead to impactful cancer research.
