Mission & Interests
Goals: The Vision of CCI Europe is to cure children and adolescents with childhood cancer with no- or as few as possible long-term health problems and late-effects.

The Mission of CCI Europe is to unite parents, patients and survivors and advocate for their rights to:
- Improve the medical and psychosocial care for children and adolescents with cancer all over Europe
- Implement European Standards of Care to eliminate still existing inequalities
- Improve the quality of survivorship

Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: CCI Europe (CCI-E) has a prominent focus on EU policies and programmes in the field of health as well as science, research and innovation.
Furthermore, CCI-E engages in oncopolicy affairs extensively, having a planned and sustained interaction with EU policy-makers and other stakeholders to anticipate and proactively shape EU health and research policies and legislations on childhood cancer and survivorship issues
Following are the areas of EU Health and Research which are of particular interest to CCI-E : Cancer; Rare Cancers; Rare Diseases; Cancer Information Systems; Cross-Border Health Care; Mental Health; Access to Healthcare; Access to Medicines; Innovative Treatments; Essential Medicines, Quality of (Health)Care; European Reference Networks (such as ERN PaedCan).
Specific legislative and related implementation acts that CCI-E actively monitors and influences include: Horizon Europe (Cancer Mission), Hoizon 2020, Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe, the revision of the Paediatric and Orphan Regulations, EU4Health, follow-up to Joint Actions on Rare Cancers (JARC) as well as Cross-Border Healthcare Directive, Health Technology Assessment Regulation, European Health Data Space, European Care Strategyetc.
Indeed, CCI-E regularly monitors and influences medicine policy with evidence-based content, especially the upcoming revision of legislation of medicines for children and rare diseases for which CCI Europe has been responding to subsequent public consultations.
Finally, CCI-E monitors and, when relevant to childhood cancers, engages in EU initiatives in the additional broad areas such as: Social Affairs, Internal Market and Industry, Skills and Education, Digital agenda, Mobility, Human Rights and Children’s Rights, Justice, Disability, Youth issues, Data Protection, Employment, Consumers, EU budget and the European Semester process.
To act and advocate on the European level, CCI-E has regular proactive engagement with the Special Committee on Beating Cancer of the EU Parliament (BECA) as well as with MEPs from the ENVI Committee and more specifically the new SANT Subcommittee.
In addition, the MEPs Against Cancer (MAC) Interest Group has been a close partner of CCI Europe and SIOP Europe in promoting a more enabling policy environment for younger cancer patients and professionals serving them.
Finally, CCI-E, together with SIOPE, has a long-term close cooperation and fruitful dialogues with numerous MEPs and DG’s of the European Commission (e.g., DG Research, DG SANTE) on childhood cancer challenges and unmet medical needs in Europe through many events, conferences and meetings (e.g. International Childhood Cancer Day - ICCD event that is yearly organised by SIOPE in the European Parliament).
Communication Activities: EVENTS AND CAMPAIGNS
CCI-E together with SIOPE, the only pan-European organisation representing all professionals working in the field of childhood cancers, organise every year in September a joint campaign on Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM).
Since September 2019, the European Parliament has lit up in gold, bringing major visibility to the persistent burden of childhood cancer – an important signal that children and adolescents with cancer should remain an important priority on the EU agenda. Initiated by parents, patients, and survivors of childhood cancer at the grassroots level, the campaign has today become a broadly endorsed initiative with a prominent global presence. In the framework of Gold September, CCI-E co-organises with SIOP Europe a yearly dedicated policy event, hosted by a member of the MAC group in an online format.
In addition, 15 February - International Childhood Cancer Day aims to raise awareness about childhood cancer. Organised by SIOP Europe in close partnership with CCI Europe, ICCD is an annual policy event hosted by a leading childhood cancer supporter.
