Project Updates

The EUCanScreen project is progressing steadily, marking significant achievements in its mission to enhance cancer screening across Europe. To date, we have successfully reached eight milestones and submitted five key deliverables, reinforcing our commitment to high-quality and sustainable screening programmes.

One of the notable milestones was the kick-off meeting, which brought together 209 participants and laid the foundation for collaboration and progress. Another crucial step forward was the signing of the consortium agreement, ensuring smooth cooperation and commitment among all project partners. To strengthen our project’s visibility and coherence, we developed several communication tools, including the project logo, website, PowerPoint template, and letterhead. Additionally, a report on the development of European guidelines and tools for assessing barriers to cancer screening has been completed, contributing to a better understanding of the challenges faced. The coordination workshop for Task 9.1 was another significant achievement, focusing on the development and assessment of methods for promoting informed choice and effective communication in personalised screening programmes.

Alongside these milestones, the project has submitted five important deliverables. The Project Management Procedures document provides structured guidance on essential protocols, governance, and team responsibilities, ensuring effective project execution. The Dissemination Strategy and Communication Plan outlines strategies to inform professionals and stakeholders about EUCanScreen’s outcomes, encouraging the adoption of its recommendations. As part of our dissemination efforts, the project website www.eucanscreen.eu was launched to serve as a central hub for information, resources, and updates. Furthermore, the Logical Model, developed using a theory-based evaluation approach, illustrates how project activities and outputs contribute to desired outcomes, offering a structured framework for assessment. The Evaluation Plan defines the scope, methodology, and key evaluation questions, ensuring a comprehensive approach to assessing implementation, outcomes, and overall project impact.
