In order to stimulate the international mobility for young scientists, to improve the
capabilities of research and development and to promote continuing education for
experienced scientists and clinicians, OECI recently set-up the Education and Training
Working Group: “E&T WG”.
The main goal of the E&T WG is to promote the establishment of a European Area for
E&T in the cancer field, to stimulate better relationship among the members of the
GEIE-OECI (the Group) and defining in the meantime a better connection with external
related bodies.
With the plan of activities of the E&T WG the OECI hopes to contribute to give a practical
answer to the Lisbon goals, to tackle fragmentation of training and to share knowledge
and facilities among CCC, to facilitate the launch of new research initiatives,
to reinforce existing successful actions, to improve knowledge on new emerging fields,
to exchange personnel with industries and vice versa.
