Basic & preclinical research
To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer in order to fuel innovation in prevention and therapeutic research we recommend to:
- Encourage multidisciplinary projects (cancer biology, chemistry, immunology, radiobiology, engineering, computational science, public health).
- Promote high risk–high return projects.
- Promote research in poor prognosis cancers.
- Engage researchers from all EU countries.
- Use ERC funding paradigms to select the most promising bottom-up proposals.
- Facilitate participation of small and medium enterprises and industry.
