Aim

The Joint Action on Networks of Expertise (JANE-2) is aimed at creating seven EU networks of a new kind, named “Networks of Expertise” (NoEs), in the cancer area, to which access is intended for both patients and treating personnel, and allowing them to start fulfilling their mission. It is intended that these NoEs will promote and improve the quality of life both during the fight against cancer and after it has been defeated.

Description

The project will develop recommendations for the establishment of seven NoEs in the following areas of interest:

  1. complex and poor-prognosis cancers;
  2. palliative care;
  3. survivorship;
  4. personalized primary/secondary prevention;
  5. omic technologies;
  6. hi-tech medical resources;
  7. adolescents and young adults with cancer

These NoEs should provide services to the European cancer community, each of them focusing on its subject. These services may include, but will not be limited to, the following:

  • producing, or supporting, clinical practice guidelines and/or general recommendations for medical professionals, patients, the public;
  • raising public awareness and carrying out advocacy/policy actions; c) developing healthcare organization models;
  • developing educational initiatives/tools for medical professionals and patients e) undertaking efforts to promote research;
  • developing quality criteria for accreditation/endorsement mechanisms;
  • engaging patients and the public;
  • others.

The project involves 121 partners from 29 European Union countries. The project is coordinated by Fondazione IRCCS Instituto Nazionale Dei Tumori, Italy. The leading partner in Latvia – Pauls Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital, affiliated partners – Rīga Stradiņš University, the Rīga East Clinical University Hospital and the University of Latvia.
