Welcome to the European Association for Cancer Research
Connecting cancer researchers together
About the EACR
We are the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR)
What is the EACR?
The EACR, a registered charity, is a global community for those working and studying in cancer research. Our mission is “The advancement of cancer research for the public benefit: from basic research to prevention, treatment and care.”
What does the EACR do?
We facilitate communication and collaboration within the cancer research community, provide a variety of support and funding opportunities, and organise highly rated webinars, scientific conferences, and an annual congress.
How did the EACR begin?
The EACR was founded in 1968 by a group of researchers who wanted to enable communication among cancer researchers across the whole of Europe beyond national borders. Today, the EACR promotes communication and collaboration among a thriving community of more than 13,000 cancer researchers across 100+ countries worldwide.
