??In this series, we are introducing the importance of the Sex and Gender dimensions in research and innovation. The inclusion of sex and gender dimensions in cancer research is essential to enable a?correct assessment of many parameters. Men and women have different rates of cancer incidence, treatment response, and survivorship outcomes. We explore some of these differences and how Horizon Europe and the EU Cancer Mission are taking them into account. #cancerresearch #sexandgender #researchdesign

?? A new EOSC4Cancer deliverable is now available! EOSC4Cancer’s Deliverable 3.2 explores the development of?functionality for integrated analysis of cancer data for different standardised data types in a portable format for use in federated analysis settings across different sites hosting relevant cancer data. The document’s principal authors are Jeanne Chèneby and Eivind Hovig of the Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) | University of Oslo, working within Work Package 3.

??In this series, we are introducing the importance of the Sex and Gender dimensions in research and innovation. Reflecting the?sex and gender dimensions in project design is the only way to avoid gaps in the research results. We explore a few steps that could be taken while designing a research project. #cancerresearch #sexandgender #researchdesign

Today is World Cancer Day, a reminder for all of us to raise awareness and encourage research for its prevention, detection, and treatment. We are celebrating by sharing insights from last week's European Data Health and Innovation Summit. EOSC4Cancer was proud to co-organise the European Health Data and Innovation Summit on January 30th in Warsaw, Poland. The event attracted ~350 in-person attendees and around 2250 online participants. It was organized in parallel sessions, in English or Polish, highlighting a variety of aspects concerning the digitalization of healthcare, Health Data Spaces, and the development of personalized medicine. Experts from the public sector, private sector, and European institutions and initiatives participated in the sessions. The symposium was organized in collaboration with the Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists (Naczelna Izba Lekarska), NIL IN - Sie? Lekarzy Innowatorów, TEHDAS2 joint action, Ministerstwo Zdrowia, EIT Health, and Okr?gowa Izba Lekarska w Warszawie.
