EU Health Policy Platform Restricted Network
JANE-2 will collaborate and develop synergies with ongoing EU Joint Actions, projects and initiatives following Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. To enhance this collaboration, JANE-2 has launched a restricted network EU Health Networks – Synergies and Challenges, hosted on the European Commission’s Health Policy Platform, with the support of DG SANTE and HaDEA , bringing together 14 cancer-related Joint Actions, EU projects and ERNs (ECHoS, JARDIN, TEHDAS-2, CAN.HEAL, eCAN Plus, EUCanScreen, JA PreventNCD, CCI4EU, EURACAN, ERN-PaedCAN, ERN-EuroBloodNet, ERN GENTURIS, EUnetCCC and JANE-2).
Aim of the Restricted Network: The aim of the restricted network will be to jointly discuss the synergies and to tackle challenges experienced by joint actions, EU projects and ERNs, while developing new EU Health Networks. JANE-2 has already completed the difficult exercise of highlighting 13 questions that need to be addressed while developing the seven Networks of Expertise (JANE’s policy document, Green Paper).
Why is this important: As JANE-2 is a joint action focusing on creating seven Networks of Expertise (NoEs) that will serve as the overarching framework that will be integrated in the healthcare systems at EU level, including comprehensive cancer centers among others, it is crucial for all current and future EU projects (and networks) that may directly or indirectly feed into this overarching framework to have a way of communicating the needs, challenges and jointly discussing solutions specifically pertaining to health networks.
