Karolinska Institutet is a member of Cancer Core Europe (CCE)
Cancer Core Europe (CCE) was founded in 2014 to accelerate the development of innovative cancer therapies through close collaboration in translational and clinical research. Karolinska Institutet is one of the seven leading cancer centers that have joined forces to form CCE.

Karolinska Institutet is one of the seven leading cancer centers that have joined forces to form the European cancer association Cancer Core Europe, together with Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Gustave Roussy, NCT & DKFZ, Netherlands Cancer Institute and Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO).
Cancer Core Europe builds on the efforts of previous larger European consortia including the EurocanPlatform and organizations that was funded by the European Commission under the seventh framework program.
CCE’s members share a common vision to reshape the cancer research model towards ultimately increasing the European Union’s competitiveness as an arena to conduct cutting-edge research that is rapidly translated to the clinic to deliver on the promise of precision medicine in oncology.
