Overview

The Horizon Europe Missions (2021–2027), inspired by Marianna Mazzuccato’s report on Mission-oriented research and innovation in the European Union (EU), introduced a bold new approach to EU-funded research and innovation. The mission-driven framework seeks to address pressing societal challenges through co-creation and multi-stakeholder engagement. The EU Mission on Cancer, a key initiative under this framework, has set out 13 inspirational recommendations and ambitious objectives to advance cancer prevention, care, and research across all Member States and Associated Countries.
