The EU-funded project “EU-CAYAS-NET” aims at developing a “European Youth Cancer Survivors Network” alongside an interactive virtual platform. The network will foster social networking, peer-support, knowledge-exchange, and aims at improving:
- the quality of life of survivors (including mental health, education & career support, follow-up care and transition),
- the care for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer, and
- Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) along the whole treatment and survivorship trajectory.
EU-CAYAS-NET is the first EU project that is coordinated by CCI Europe, in a joint effort with Youth Cancer Europe.

UNICA4EU‘s vision is to pave the foundation of the ecosystem that will facilitate the upscaling and wide-scale application of Artificial Intelligence to Paediatric Cancer in the next ten years, positioning Europe as the worldwide benchmark in the field. The initiative will bring together the multi-disciplinary networks of stakeholders required to strengthen the reference knowledge base for the Paediatric Cancer investigation and promotion.
CCI Europe’s main role in the UNICA4EU project will be to ensure that patients’, survivors’ and parents’ rights regarding data sharing and data use are being protected, and that their needs regarding patient friendly information and education about the use of AI technologies are met.

PanCareSurPass (PCSP) will look at implementation of the digital Survivorship Passport (http://www.survivorshippassport.org/) tool to improve person-centred care for survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Lithuania and Spain. Through the tool, survivors and their healthcare providers will receive a detailed Treatment Summary and a personalised Survivorship Care Plan, based on evidence-based international clinical guidelines. The project will also develop materials to support future replication in new countries in the future.
CCI Europe is actively inputting into the research being conducted and will be a key partner in communicating the project to survivor groups across Europe.
