The morning session will embed National Cancer Data Nodes in the context of the ongoing collaboration with EUnetCCC and Joint Action Personalised Cancer Medicine (JA-PCM) on:
- How to define clinically relevant minimal datasets for Molecular Tumour Boards (MTB) discussion across CCC in Member States supported by National Cancer Data Nodes;
- How cBioPortal is developed and applied in MTB in Europe and across the Atlantic;
- How to align data management planning across EU-funded cancer research projects in the framework of European Health Data Space (EHDS).
The afternoon session will focus on the technical aspect of the National Cancer Data Nodes:
- How the NCDNs are constructed;
- What functions NCDNs offer in support to the EHDS national implementation;
- How NCDN collaborate with other EU initiatives at the national level (e.g. GDI, EUCAIM, ECHOSII, etc).
