Health Cluster + Cancer Mission
To improve and protect the health and well-being of citizens of all ages
Horizon Europe Health Cluster + Cancer Mission
What is Horizon Europe?
- It is the European Commission's flagship research and innovation program, succeeding the renowned Horizon 2020. This time, the program is planned to run from 2021 to 2027, with a budget of over €95 billion.
What is an NCP?
- An NCP (National Contact Point) is an organizational structure in the form of a Specialized Knowledge Network, focused on thematic clusters and impact missions. Its aim is to disseminate and promote various research initiatives from Horizon Europe through a variety of strategies. This increases the possibilities of leveraging the resources and participation of Colombian entities within the opportunities offered by the Horizon Europe program, thus multiplying and diversifying the quantity and quality of actors interested in being part of research activities (mostly projects and mobilities) with European funding.

Health Cluster Objectives:
- The overall objective of the Cancer Mission is to achieve advances in the next decade that will save at least 3 million lives in Europe. In general terms, it aims to extend the life expectancy of cancer patients, achieve a better quality of life—also for survivors and their families—and consolidate mechanisms to prevent or delay the onset of the disease. The Cancer Mission believes that, to achieve effective interventions in the pillars of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as to improve the quality of life of people exposed to cancer, a better understanding of the disease is necessary. Therefore, a better understanding of the factors and mechanisms that cause cancer is the foundation on which the three pillars of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are based. Más información aquí
