Type of Action : EU4H-PJG EU4H Project Grants Budget : €2.767.051,03 Project duration : 01 September 2022 - 31 March 2023 (18 months) Lead Coordinator : IARC, co-leader : ECL Website: under construction Contact : Be_EBCP@sciensano.be, Marc Arbyn Domain / Area : Screening |
Main objectives
This action supports the linking of data provided by the cancer screening programmes into ECIS with a view to allowing the permanent monitoring of the screening programmes, including the performance indicators. The action will consist in the collection of data from entities in the Member States that are responsible for collecting data on cancer screening, in order to provide this data to ECIS, and develop a piloting of the new ECIS functionality as well as a new separate section to ensure a permanent collection and monitoring of the coverage and performance indicators of population-based cancer screening across the Union.
