Preventing Cancer for a Healthier Future

A consortium of leading institutions in cancer prevention bridging research, policy and practice across Europe since 2018.

Who are we?

Our Mission

Cancer Prevention Europe (CPE) is committed to reducing the cancer burden across Europe by advancing prevention research and strategies at all levels—primary, secondary, and tertiary. We bring together leading institutes to translate scientific evidence into effective, equitable action. Our mission rests on four pillars:

Innovative Research Approaches

Advancing cancer prevention by identifying risk factors and leveraging novel methodologies, technologies.

Implementation Research Excellence

Promoting research that evaluates, refines, and scales effective prevention strategies to close the evidence gap.

Targeted Advocacy

Advocating for policies that ensure cancer prevention is prioritized and integrated into public health systems at the European level.

Capacity Building and Knowledge Exchange

Empowering the next generation of researchers and practitioners through training and leadership initiatives.

Our Vision

CPE envisions a future where cancer prevention is a cornerstone of public health in Europe, with collaborative, sustainable, and evidence-based strategies that benefit all populations.

The Early Career Network

The Early Career Network (ECN) is a transversal structure within Cancer Prevention Europe, bringing together early-career researchers and professionals to contribute to, shape, and lead activities across the consortium.

The ECN is composed of early-career representatives from member institutions, with institutions encouraged to designate at least two representatives.

ECN activities are coordinated and developed in collaboration with the Scientific Secretariat, in alignment with the Steering Group.
