The Organization of European Cancer Institutes (OECI)
A European Economic Interest Grouping
The OECI mission is to bring together the cancer research and care institutions
of the EU in order to create a critical mass of expertise and competence with the
view of building and maintaining a consensus on the best models of oncology,
developing concrete affordable and realistic solutions to effectively combat cancer,
and fostering the widest deployment of oncology models and solutions to improve
the quality of life for the patients in the EU.
In order to achieve this mission, certain strategic activities must be pursued,
and the OECI intends:
- To develop a consensual vision of excellence in oncology which is concrete,
affordable, and realistic. In particular, to develop a coherent model of a
“comprehensive cancer centre” based on multidisciplinarity, integration, patient
care, research, education and a critical mass.
-
To develop collaboration and management instruments that enable and
facilitate interactions resulting in joint projects and activities among
its institutional members;
-
To foster the accumulation and exchange of oncology know-how, competences
and other resources among its institutional members;
-
To bring together senior competences that EU institutions and other public
bodies can call upon regularly or on an ad-hoc basis, to address cancer research
and care management problems;
-
To voice and present the views of its institutional members to the EU policy- and
decision-makers and to the wider public;
-
To act as a lobbying agency with the EU and other national institutions, authorities,
or agencies on behalf of its institutional members;
-
To contribute to establishing a European research and training area for oncology.
The OECI is fully aware of and interacts with other organisations on the EU cancer scene,
such as ESMO, EORTC, FECS, IARC, EACR and others. The OECI mission is distinctive in that
it complements the work of these initiatives by integrating their aims and views into the
model of “comprehensiveness”. Such integration is mandatory if we are to ensure the manageability
of cancer in the EU. Moreover the OECI distinguishes itself by being an organisation of cancer
institutions. The policy of the OECI will be to encourage collaboration with all public, private
or such organisations that pursue goals of improving the quality of life of all cancer patients
in the EU.
