EU Mission Cluster

ThermoBreast was part of the EU Mission’s “Prevention and Early Detection, including Screening” cluster, a group of EU-funded projects focused on preventing and detecting various types of tumours at an early stage.

Cluster areas of collaboration

The Prevention and Early Detection (Screening) Cluster is a collaborative effort where all members of these projects work together to extend the reach and impact of each other’s research. Additionally, the primary goal is to raise awareness among the public about the significance of these EU-funded research initiatives in enhancing the overall quality of life for all European citizens. To ensure coherence amongst the cluster, joint activities will be undertaken, starting with the development of a shared work plan for scientific collaborations and a unified strategy for dissemination and communication. In addition, regular meetings, both in person and virtually, are organised to monitor progress and to reinforce dedication to the cluster’s objectives. The projects within the cluster are expected to produce specific joint deliverables that will be reported to the European Commission.

EU Cancer Mission Cluster

One of the main aims of the European Mission on Cancer is to enhance cancer prevention for EU citizens. This involves improving the effectiveness of existing screening programs, as well as conducting research to develop new screening tools that can be easily integrated into new programs at a national level. The European Commission has provided support and encouragement for this mission, resulting in collaborative efforts amongst seven EU-funded projects, united under “Prevention and early detection (Screening)” cluster.

accelopment played a crucial role in representing the ThermoBreast project in the Communication & Dissemination Working Group of the Prevention and Early Detection, including Screening cluster and was the main contributor to its effective setup and management. To effectively communicate about the PEDS cluster and increase its visibility, the partners from accelopment successfully set up and implemented a cohesive and recognisable cluster visual identity by developing a cluster logo, colour code and visual elements incorporated in the branding guidelines. Aligned with the EU Mission on Cancer branding guidelines, the visual identity was officially approved by the EC RTD Communications team for future use. Furthermore, in December 2023 accelCH initiated the creation of a cluster newsletter that showcased the achievements of all participating projects in the first year of collaboration and provided a glimpse into their plans for 2024.  accelopment was also successfully leading the cluster’s Data Management Working group.
