A Call for an EU Budget that Delivers for Health, Cancer, and Rare Diseases

The event “A Call for an EU Budget that Delivers for Health, Cancer, and Rare Diseases“ is scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30 CET at the European Parliament in Brussels.
Organized by the European Cancer Organisation on the eve of World Cancer Day, this meeting serves as a high-level advocacy platform to secure sustained political and financial support within the EU’s next long-term budget (Multiannual Financial Framework). During the session, a cross-party coalition of decision-makers will publish a position paper outlining the future of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, emphasizing the need to preserve its legacy and address the ongoing public health threat posed by cancer, childhood cancer, and rare diseases.
