Meet the Rising Stars
Europe has made considerable progress in cancer control. But much work remains to be done. Progress depends on bright minds and innovative ideas.
In a special session of the European Cancer Summit 2025, Associate Professor Balázs Ács and PhD student Tihana Gašpert were awarded the Rising Star Grants to support their innovative cancer research.

What we do
We offer vital support to efforts making cancer care more effective, efficient, equitable and inclusive in Europe.
Our mission is to support smaller organisations and projects, smaller medical societies and patient groups, that make a meaningful difference yet often lack the resources to campaign for funds.
Supporters
These are just some of the initial contributors.
Who we are
We are a not-for-profit foundation, created by the European Cancer Organisation (ECO) in March 2023. We benefit from ECO’s extensive relationships across the full spectrum of cancer care.
