From March this year the third ‘ERA-NET on Translational Cancer Research’ has been launched:
ERA-NET Cofund TRANSCAN-3: Sustained collaboration of national and regional programmes in cancer research

The new network is co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of Horizon 2020, and puts a focus on transnational cooperation in cancer research. TRANSCAN-3 will run until February 2026 and is following up on TRANSCAN and TRANSCAN-2.  The coordinator is the Italian Ministry of Health and in Germany the BMBF and the Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. is involved.

The TRANSCAN-3 network, with a strong background in funding cancer research, embodies an excellent model of cross-national cooperation by bringing together 31 funding organisations, from 20 countries, with the common goal of supporting high-impact translational cancer research through cross-national joint calls for proposals, and by an efficient investment of dedicated national/regional public funding, leveraged with foundation/charity-based resources and EU financial support.

Building up on the well-established cooperation and accomplishments, through the harmonisation of national/regional funding mechanisms and programmes, plus continued and sustained series of efforts for the access to and sharing of data on cancer research, this TRANSCAN-3 project also aims at becoming a catalysts for a sustainable model of funding of high-impact cancer research in Europe and beyond, with an approach to effectively engage relevant stakeholders (patients, society as a whole, policy makers, etc.) in different stages of the action.

TRANSCAN-3 announced the opening of a joint transnational call for proposals on April 6^th 2021. The topic of the call is ‘Next generation cancer immunotherapy: targeting the tumour microenvironment’.

Only transnational projects will be funded. Each research consortium must involve a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of six (6) eligible partners from at least three (3) different countries participating in the call. In addition, a research consortium must not involve more than two (2) research groups from one country.

The first deadline for pre-proposals is June 29^th 2021. Successful applicants of this first stage will be invited to submit their full proposal until December 20^th 2021.

The participating countries:
Italy, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, Canada, Taiwan
