    Meet Harald Wagener and Prof. Roland Eils, Berlin Institute of Health, who are coordinating EU-CiP. They are two key people behind the European Cancer Patient Digital Centre (ECPDC) concept which this project is a foundation layer.

    The concept of a ‘portal’ is abstract but the result will improve everyday lives of EU citizens and their families dealing with a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

    In this video, Harald and Roland introduce the #CancerInfoPortal project and how it will build EUropean Cancer Information Portals (EU-CiPs). They explain how the portals will provide reliable and easy-to-access cancer information – a simple but important step to equitable and trusted sources. The portals will help people find information they need and make informed decisions about their life and healthcare.

    You can add local language captions in your YouTube settings.

    This is the first in a series called ‘How to Build a Portal‘.

    The EU-CIP project – part of the European Cancer Patient Digital Centre – launched at an in-person event at Charité Universitätsmedizin, Berlin on 12-13 June 2025.

    The EU Cancer Information Portal (or #CancerInfoPortal for short) will be developed as the home for multilingual, reliable and easy to understand information for cancer patients and their families and carers in Europe.

    A large group of people stand on a staircase. They are looking at the camera and smiling.

    Behind the portal’s development are 40 partners from 18 European countries. Here are just some of them!

    At the launch, partners got straight to work in preparatory workshops, welcomed strategic input from the European Commission and mapped out the first few steps.

    We will share progress of the portal’s development here and on our social media channels – listed below
