Two years after the launch of the European Cancer Imaging Initiative, Member States and stakeholders from research, innovation and healthcare organisations, will explore perspectives for the Initiative’s contribution to advancing trustworthy AI tools for precision oncology and its role in the future European Health Data Space.
At the heart of this Initiative is the Cancer Image Europe Infrastructure under development by the EUCAIM project. By 2026, the infrastructure will provide researchers, innovators and clinicians with secure access to extensive cancer image datasets, unlocking the potential for AI tools to detect cancer sooner and faster, and treat the patients more accurately.
At the event, EUCAIM will share major milestones, introduce new project partners, and discuss progress towards the establishment of an EUCAIM EDIC (European Digital Infrastructure Consortium). The event will also feature a declaration on the Importance of Medical Imaging and Radiomics Data on the Precision Medicine Pathway, reaffirming Member States’ commitment to the digital transformation of healthcare and advancing early cancer diagnosis and personalised treatments for patients across Europe.
There will be a presentation on the Joint Stakeholder Statement resulting from the Health Policy Platform Thematic Network on "Advancing Precision Medicine for Europe's Cancer Patients with AI-powered Imaging" led by the European Society of Radiology in collaboration with EUCAIM.
Target audience
This event aims to bring together key figures in the digital transformation of healthcare across EU Member States, including representatives from health ministries, digital health agencies, hospitals, and cancer research institutes. The event also welcomes researchers and SMEs working with imaging data to gain and provide valuable insights on AI innovation in cancer diagnostics and treatment.
The event will take place from 09:30 to 17:00. The final agenda will be available on this page shortly. You can register using the yellow button on the right.
