About the EACR
We are the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR)
What is the EACR?
The EACR, a registered charity, is a global membership community for those working and studying in cancer research, with more than 12,000 members worldwide. 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 services and funding opportunities to our community of members, 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 membership community of more than 12,000 members across 100+ countries worldwide.
