The first Annual Meeting of the EUnetCCC marked the official launch of the European Network of Comprehensive Cancer Centres and a pivotal milestone in the implementation of the Joint Action. Held in Paris under the theme “Shaping the future of cancer care, research and education in Europe”, the meeting brought together representatives from Comprehensive Cancer Centres across Europe to highlight the strategic role of CCCs as infrastructures integrating clinical excellence, research, education, training and workforce development, essential pillars for the long-term sustainability of Europe’s cancer systems.

The event introduced the EUnetCCC Network to a broad audience of centres, stakeholders and policymakers, demonstrating its added value for health systems and, ultimately, for patients.

Building on this momentum, the EUnetCCC community will gather again for the next Annual Meeting on 26-27 November 2026 at the Lisbon Congress Centre, Portugal.
