INTERACT-EUROPE (https://www.europeancancer.org/eu-projects/impact/interact-europe) has been an 18-month project (June 2022 - November 2023) co-funded by the EU under the EU4Health programme 2021-2027 as part of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.
INTERACT-EUROPE has brought together 33 partners from 17 countries aiming at developing a European inter-specialty cancer training programme involving all main oncology disciplines and professions, cancer centres and patient groups, based on relevant needs assessments.
The project has fostered a patient-centric approach to quality cancer care through the promotion of multi-disciplinary and multi-professional team working.
The INTERACT-EUROPE project encompasses several aspects of innovative, patient-centred care and aims to produce an impact lasting well beyond the project duration.
Building upon outcomes and contributions of all project partners, the project’s Blueprint will ensure the long-standing impact of the project. It outlines key recommendations and requirements for the successful delivery of a technology Inter-Speciality Cancer Training Programme (ISCTP) in Europe.

At its core, the new INTERACT-EUROPE 100, fosters a patient-centric approach to cancer care through a genuine multidisciplinary and multi-professional approach.
